June Month 2022 edit-a-thon: Content enrichment
by Nitesh Gill 17 Jun '22

17 Jun '22

Hello everyone, Hope you are doing well. In October 2020, during the period of the pandemic, CIS-A2K started a model of Mini edit-a-thons to engage the communities or editors online and enrich some content on regional Wikimedia projects. This model is for everyone who is addicted to editing their local Wikimedia projects. After a few months, now CIS-A2K is going to conduct a month of June edit-a-thon. During this month, many special days were or are there and June is also known as pride month. So, I request you all please spend a little time contributing to the event which will take place on 25 June and 26 June 2022. Below is the link to the event page you can go through it which is under construction now. Also, please introduce your community to take part in this online two-day edit-a-thon for your local Wiki projects and during the edit-a-thon, all Wikipedia sister projects can be edited. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/June_Month_Celebration_2022_edit-a-thon Regards Nitesh CIS-A2K

Update about my role at CIS-A2K
by Tito Dutta 15 Jun '22

15 Jun '22

Greetings/Namaskara, Hope this email finds you well. I want to give an update about my role at CIS-A2K. On 11 July 2022, I'll step down from my position at CIS-A2K. Because of health issues, and personal reasons, this was important for me to take a break from programmatic activities. This has been a very delightful and wonderful experience. I have learnt a lot from the communities and the community members. There have been many wonderful memories. I sincerely thank you for everything. Although I'll leave the program, this is not a retirement from the Wikimedia movement, I'll continue to edit and work on Wikimedia projects in my volunteer capacity. Programmatic updates or upcoming plans will be shared by CIS-A2K separately. Thanking you once again, Sincerely, Tito Dutta Member, Access to Knowledge

*Georgina Burnett* <georgina.burnett(a)wikimedia.de> works in the software development department at Wikimedia Deutschland, the German chapter of the Wikimedia movement. Together with some colleagues, she is looking to talk to user groups about Wikibase. She explains: "Wikibase is an open-source and free software that we develop and maintain in our software development department. It was originally developed to run Wikidata, but increasingly, it is being used by institutions to manage, maintain and connect their own data. We'd love to see Wikibase be used around the world, so we're keen to connect with local Wikimedians in India to talk about the project." She asked our Wikipedians of Goa User Group if they could deliver an introductory presentation at one of our meetings or events, adding: "We'd love to explore the project in more detail together with you, and answer any questions you have." The meeting is fixed for Thu 2 Jun 2022 5:30pm – 6:15pm (IST). If you'd like to join, please get in touch. fredericknoronha2(a)gmail.com WhatsApp: +91-9822122436 -- --------------------------------------------------------------- May 2022 | Frederick Noronha. 784 Saligao 403511 Goa Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa | M (after 2pm) +91 9822122436 Twitter @fn 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 | ---------------------------------------- 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 | fredericknoronha2(a)gmail.com 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 | Books.
