Dear Wikimedians, The Wikipedia TTT-2015, a four day residential training workshop to groom leadership skills among the Indian Wikimedia volunteer community, will begin tomorrow. This is curated and run by CIS-A2K with the help of Wikimedia volunteers. About 30 Wikimedians from across 12 Indian languages and from various part of the country will be taking part in this workshop in Bangalore. This time we also have some Wikimedians from Nepal joining the program. This is the second such event held in India, the first one was in 2013. For more details see the event page here [1].

I was under the impression that volunteers were to be in-house ie from Bangalore itself. Perhaps I was mistaken. :) On Thu, Feb 26, 2015 at 5:13 AM, Tito Dutta <trulytito(a)gmail.com> wrote:

Has there been an outreach to the participants from 2013 asking them to document (in form of blog posts etc) the efficacy of the event in enhancing their skills and aiding in what they are currently doing. -- sankarshan mukhopadhyay <https://twitter.com/#!/sankarshan>

We have been tracking, informally (as the group was small), the 2013 participants' outreach activities. More than 50% of the participants have been doing outreach (on and off wiki). Some of them have become outreach champions in their respective communities. Documentation (especially in the form of blog posts) is not realistic and a huge ask. The active editors among Indic projects is small and such external documentation will be a needless overhead, of course unless they voluntarily do it. Most use their respective language projects for on-wiki documentation and publicize in social media groups. Best, Vishnu

I was seeking whether the participants from the previous iteration of this training/event have put together their thoughts. My expectation was that it would serve as a nice baseline for any future set of participants in a similar exercise. Additionally, it would help demonstrate a somewhat direct (if not linear) co-relation between the investment in the program and the improvements brought about. -- sankarshan mukhopadhyay <https://twitter.com/#!/sankarshan>

No. This was missing in the 2013 iteration. Based on that learning we have explicitly brought this component for the 2015 version. My expectation

Yes. A prudent suggestion. We will try to work on this. Thanks, Vishnu
