Dear Wikipedians, Apologies for my previous mail that was sent by mistake. Here are some additional news from Assamese Wiki. # 93.5 Red FM broadcasted an interview on Monday 11/06/12 (from 8 AM to 9 AM) with a Wikipedian Jyoti Prakash Nath about the 10th anniversary celebration program. # Dy365 (TV News Channel) broadcasted an interview on Sunday 10/06/12 and Monday 11/06/12 (at 6 PM evening news) with a Wikipedian Bishnu Saikia about the 10th anniversary celebration program. But this is very shameful for the Assamese print media because none of the Local news paper (Except Edinor Songbad) didn't published the news, even their reporters was also present at the event. Also the famous TV news channel "News Live" didn't visited the event.

Dear All, Firstly I would like to thank you for the continuous support and contribution to the Wikimedia movement. You are aware that after implemented Google OCR into Indic Wikisource, they grew rapidly, reaching a total of 50,000+ pages proofreaded in 11 Indic Wikisource languages. For updated page/ digitised content you go here <https://wikisource.org/wiki/Wikisource:Indic_Wikisource_Stats>[2] But Indic community members have not got any chance to meet each other and share best practices of their community. Keeping this in mind we are planning to have an IRC[1] on 1st September 2018 (@8:00 PM) for the Indic Wikisource community. Please suggest more Agenda for the IRC in Google Doc <https://docs.google.com/document/d/11T9qUpNfx6wY06mVQ8XqXox26PP34eEPyswz8qP…> [3] [1]. https://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#cis-a2k [2]. *https://wikisource.org/wiki/Wikisource:Indic_Wikisource_Stats <https://wikisource.org/wiki/Wikisource:Indic_Wikisource_Stats>* [3]. https://docs.google.com/document/d/11T9qUpNfx6wY06mVQ8XqXox26PP34eEPyswz8qP… Thanks and Regards, *Jayanta Nath* Wikisource Project advisor Access to Knowledge program The Centre for Internet & Society
