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