Dear All
Reminder that there's an IRC for the community with India Program on 22nd March at 9:00 pm IST in #wikimedia-office. This session is an open house with no specific topics to be discussed. (This was scheduled because we ran out of time in the previous IRC. To avoid spamming lists, I won't be sending this to any other lists apart from this one. Please do share this mail with whoever you know might be interested.
(To join the IRC, all you have to do is go to: http://webchat.freenode.net/ and enter a nickname ( it does not require prior registration) and enter #wikimedia-office as the channel name.)
I'll send a reminder 15 minutes before the session.

Here's the linkhttp://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_-_India_Programs/IRC_meeting_2012-03-15 that gives the log of this meeting - for those who couldn't attend.
As planned, the major topic of discussion was the Indic Languages initiatives. We talked about the overall approach that Shiju has been following with several dozen community members. We walked through the Medical project - currently underway in Assamesehttp://as.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%A7%B1%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%AA%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%A1%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BC%E0%A6%BE:%E0%A7%B1%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%B2%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AA_%E0%A6%9A%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%BF%E0%A7%8E%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%9C%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%9E%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8 , Teluguhttp://te.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%B0%B5%E0%B0%BF%E0%B0%95%E0%B1%80%E0%B0%AA%E0%B1%80%E0%B0%A1%E0%B0%BF%E0%B0%AF%E0%B0%BE:WikiProject/Medicine , Oriya (Odia)http://or.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%AC%89%E0%AC%87%E0%AC%95%E0%AC%BF%E0%AC%AA%E0%AC%BF%E0%AC%A1%E0%AC%BC%E0%AC%BF%E0%AC%86:%E0%AC%89%E0%AC%87%E0%AC%95%E0%AC%BF%E0%AC%AA%E0%AD%8D%E0%AC%B0%E0%AC%95%E0%AC%B3%E0%AD%8D%E0%AC%AA_%E0%AC%9A%E0%AC%BF%E0%AC%95%E0%AC%BF%E0%AC%A4%E0%AD%8D%E0%AC%B8%E0%AC%BE%E0%AC%AC%E0%AC%BF%E0%AC%9C%E0%AD%8D%E0%AC%9E%E0%AC%BE%E0%AC%A8 & Malayalamhttp://ml.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%B4%B5%E0%B4%BF%E0%B4%95%E0%B5%8D%E0%B4%95%E0%B4%BF%E0%B4%AA%E0%B5%80%E0%B4%A1%E0%B4%BF%E0%B4%AF:%E0%B4%B5%E0%B4%BF%E0%B4%95%E0%B5%8D%E0%B4%95%E0%B4%BF%E0%B4%AA%E0%B4%A6%E0%B5%8D%E0%B4%A7%E0%B4%A4%E0%B4%BF/%E0%B4%B5%E0%B5%88%E0%B4%A6%E0%B5%8D%E0%B4%AF%E0%B4%B6%E0%B4%BE%E0%B4%B8%E0%B5%8D%E0%B4%A4%E0%B5%8D%E0%B4%B0%E0%B4%82. (This seeks to create vital articles in Indic wikis with the help of community members with medical/healthcare background, or users who are interested in healthcare articles.) During the IRC, Jayanta informed us that the Bengali community have also started ithttp://bn.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:MED
- which is great. We also discussed the Translated Articles

Thank you to every one but a special thank you to the new folks who came on today. It's always nice to see new faces!
We ran out of time on this IRC. As discussed, I would like to suggest Thursday March 22nd @9pm IST for another IRC. (This is in addition to the IRC planned for March 29th.) The March 22nd IRCwill be an open house - and will not therefore have a predetermined agenda.
As always, do visit the India Program pagehttp://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/India_Program for more information on everything we do.
Best

Hi Folks
One of the essential things that India Program needs to constantly work out is keeping the community informed of the work that we are doing - so that this work is clearer but also to help cross-pollinate ideas amongst a wider set of community members who might not have been engaged on specific village pump / talk page discussion or involved in particular activities (e.g. outreach events) or wikiprojects.
We used to have a monthly IRC with the community and India Program. (For those who are not familiar with IRC, it is an Internet messaging system similar to a regular chat room. It's very simple to use and you can join in by clicking on the following link:* http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#wikimedia-office*.) I have been remiss in conducting these for the past few months - and I'd like to make amends by restarting, with a couple of modifications.
a) I'd like to propose fortnightly instead of monthly. (I was wary of doing it any more frequently than monthly earlier because I didn't know if there would be enough on the plate to discuss. I have changed my mind now
- because there is too much to discuss to cover in a single monthly
session.) I'd like to propose that we do it in the 1st and 3rd Thursdays of every month at 9pm IST (which is GMT + 0530) - THOUGH NOT THIS MONTH - BECAUSE I HAVE MISSED THE TIMELINE. Just for March, we will do it on *March 15th* and March 29th (both at *9pm IST* which is GMT + 0530) b) I'd like to propose that we do it focussed on specific work streams instead of general. The reason I say this is that - as with many community meet-ups, folks will give time to attend a meet-up or participate in an IRC only if there is a topic of relevance to them. To that extent, we could do one IRC on Indic languages and one on Outreach & Communications. I'd start both the IRCs with a re-cap of India Programs activities for the fortnight (or so) prior to the IRC and forward from the IRC - and then we could talk about either Indic langauges or Outreach & Communications.
The *March 15th one will be focussed on Indic Languages* and the one on March 29th will be on Outreach & Communications.
