Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] First Telugu wiki academy conducted on 6 Oct 2009 at Chirala engineering college, chirala

Hi I am glad to report that I have conducted first Telugu wiki academy conducted on 6 Oct 2009 at Chirala engineering college, chirala, a small coastal town in Prakasam district Andhra Pradesh, with kind cooperation from the college authorities. About 120 third and final year engineering students participated in the three hour session in which about 1.5 hours were spent on hands on practice with telugu typing and changes to the articles in telugu wikipedia. Lab facility with about 60 computers and 2 MB internet pipe was very helpful in making this event a success. There were minor technical glitches like wikipedia limiting access to only 6 accounts from the IP proxy. which need to be addressed for doing events like this in future. As Andhra pradesh has over 600 such engineering colleges, doing one such event in each college can give a boost to promoting Telugu wikipedia. More on this on my blog http://teluginux.blogspot.com in a week's time.
