Supporting four community members for their participation at WikiConference India 2016
by Subhashish Panigrahi 26 Jul '16

26 Jul '16

Dear friends, WikiConference India 2016 is just around the corner and all of you who are participating will already be getting ready to come to Landran. Four community members (Vishwanath Badikana from Kannada and Tulu Wikipedia, Gopala Krishna from Kannada Wikipedia, Pankajmala Sarangi from Odia Wikisource and Muralimohan Kodihalli from Telugu Wikipedia) had reached out to us requesting to support them for their travel and stay for WCI '16. These applicants are from our focus language areas. We discussed about this internally and decided to support them based on their contribution to their respective language Wikimedia projects and the communities. This is not the wiki way of doing things and we apologise for taking this decision. But these requests came late and we did not have a clear plan well in advance to support community members to travel and participate in WCI. Two of the community members, Pankajmala and Muralimohan, have managed to have discussion in their respective language Wikipedias and have got support from their fellow community members, we appreciate. We wish we can support more Wikimedians from all the other language communities. But because of the time and budget constraint, we are being able to support only these four Wikimedians. If any of you have any issue with this please do let us know. We apologise for not being able announce the possibility of we supporting the community well in advance. Best! Subhashish Panigrahi Programme Officer, Access To Knowledge Centre for Internet and Society @subhapa / https://cis-india.org

11 Jul '16

Dear friends, We are happy to share the consolidated newsletter for May and June. Apologies for missing out the former and for this long newsletter. Train-the-trainer and Mediawiki training for Indian language Wikimedians After two iterations of the Train the Trainer in 2013 (https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CIS-A2K/Events/Train_the_Trainer_Program/20…) and 2015 (https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CIS-A2K/Events/Train_the_Trainer_Program/20…) , CIS-A2K organised the third programme during June 15-17 at Bengaluru. The Mediawiki training was designed to help groom technical leadership skills of the technical contributors of the communities. A total of 45 participants, that were selected by a collaborative consultation with the community, took part in these events. The trainers for both the events consisted of subject experts from the Wikimedia community, the free knowledge movement, the free and open source software community and CIS-A2K programme staff. Check the event page for more details of Train-the-trainer (https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CIS-A2K/Events/Train_the_Trainer_Program/20…) and Mediawiki training (https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CIS-A2K/Events/MediaWiki_Training). Community celebrates birthday of Odia Wikipedia and Odia Wiktionary (by Chinmayee Mishra Community member; Subhashish Panigrahi, CIS-A2K; and Sailesh Patnaik, CIS-A2K) With the Odia Wikipedia and its sister projects, a handful of dedicated volunteer editors are taking the Odia language to the world outside. The editor community that has recently celebrated Odia Wikipedia’s 14th anniversary in Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India is collectively growing two more projects; Odia Wikisource, an online library that already has over 300 volumes of text, and Odia Wiktionary, an online dictionary that has over 100,000 entries. With these live projects and more projects in the pipeline, this community is bringing a digital revolution in Odia by sharing valuable content online and creating many language tools inside and outside the Wikimedia projects.
