A Joint statement on collaboration between WMIN and CIS-A2K
Representatives from WMIN and CIS-A2K met during the Train the Trainer
Workshop that was held in Bengaluru on February 28, 2015.
The meeting was productive and paves the way for a long lasting
partnership between the two organizations. It was decided in the meeting
that WMIN and CIS-A2K teams shall work closely and contribute to each
other’s activities and growth. Following are the points towards
collaborative engagement that WMIN and CIS-A2K will work towards:
-
CIS-A2K and WMIN will revive quarterly team hangouts to enable better
communication and coordination between them. The meeting that happened on
February 28th, 2015 is the first in this series of regular meetings planned.
-
As a first step to signal the collaborative nature of WMIN and
CIS-A2K, we will sign a joint MoU with a leading academic institution that
will provide access to many language computing tools including OCR. We are
already at an advanced stage of discussion.
-
WMIN will work together with CIS-A2K for conducting the proposed MediaWiki
TTT in May 2015.
-
Setting up a public calendar to keep all communities, CIS-A2K and
WMIN informed about various movement related activities and events.
-
A strategy will be put in place to revive the Bengaluru Wiki
Community meetups which were very active in the past. This will be a
community led initiative facilitated by CIS-A2K and WMIN.
-
The synergy between the two organizations will also extend beyond
Wikimedia domain. For example, close coordination will be seen in Creative
Commons India related activities.
-
CIS-A2K team will be working closely with the WMIN team towards
developing its next round of FDC proposal.
-
Both CIS-A2K and WMIN acknowledge the role of India Community
Consultation 2014 facilitated by WMF that paved the way for better
understanding between the organizations.
We plan to keep the community updated about the progress on these
agreements. We will also inform when new activities are planned.
We kindly request the community to extend their support for these
initiatives.
Thanks.
Released on behalf of Wikimedia India and CIS-A2K.
