Dear All,

This is being scheduled for 12th and 13th Dec. Time is yet to be finalised. Couple of points:

* Workshop will be organised in the computer lab at Goa University
* Infrastructure like the computer lab LCD projectors are available in the library as well a s the Academic Staff College class rooms.
* Computer lab has 25 machines and may be few lap tops can squeeze in.
* We are requesting participants to get their own laptops if possible
* Gopakumar (University librarian) will create and share a participation form for registration. He is also creating posters, banners and notices to market the event.
* I'm going to submit a request to release the library IP address from 7 accounts creation limit.
* We're also trying to set up a meeting with museum curators and librarians from Goa to explore opportunities of working on a GLAM project with them.

I'll keep updating you all. Will be great to get support from as many of you as possible.

Kind regards,
Nitika

A wiki Academy at Goa University was being discussed for mid December.
Nitika will take that call.

It is the height of the tourist season so we need to think through accommodation options for out of state folk.

Warm regards

Great work !!
And a nice report too!!

Is it possible to have some followup events for this activity. Some
women meetup every 2-3 months will be a good way to keep everyone in
touch and to have better interaction.

Congrats to all the volunteers, co-ordinators and participants for a
successful event.
Keep up the good work!!

Regards
