Project Tiger: Offline Edit-a-thon
by Tito Dutta 26 Mar '18

26 Mar '18

નમસ્તે Gujarati Wikimedians, The Project Tiger Writing Contest has started with great responses. A few communities such as Tamil, Malayalam, and Punjabi are participating enthusiastically. We feel that real-life edit-a-thons might be a good way to encourage your community members. If you are planning to have an offline edit-a-thon o Project Tiger both financially and more important programmatically. Note: Our budget for each offline event in India is ~8,000 INR. It would be great if you could host an offline edit-a-thon for your community. Please contact tito(a)cis-india.org for questions. Thanks Tito Dutta Note: If I don't reply to your email in 2 days, please feel free to remind me over email or phone call.[image: beacon]

Project Tiger: List of Laptop Recipients
by Dhaval S. Vyas 13 Mar '18

13 Mar '18

Hi, As part of the Project Tiger Community Review Team, we are glad to announce the list of laptop recipients. * 50 Wikimedians will receive laptops. 45 among them have 1000+ edits. * They belong to 16 different Indian language Wikipedia communities. * 11 among them are females (22% of recipients). All applicants with 100+ global edits and at least one endorsement were considered eligible to be reviewed. The selection principle was to look at Activity (edits) followed by Trust (endorsements) and decide based on one's Need for the support. This meant that people who had no (contributing from a mobile) or only limited access (contributing from office) to a system were given priority over others who needed an additional/better laptop for various needs. A basic model Chromebook will be given as one-time support. The recipients can keep them forever without returning it to CIS-A2K or fellow community members. This support is offered assuming good faith in order to empower each recipient's contribution to the best of their ability. We encourage fellow community members to welcome them as usual. Each recipient will be contacted through their talk pages and contact email address given on the application form. We plan to disperse the laptops before the end of March 2018. Please contact tito at cis-india.org or tanveer at cis-india.org if you need clarification or leave a message in the talk page. More details and full list of recipients are available at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Supporting_Indian_Language_Wikipedias_Progr… Thanks, Dhaval S. Vyas Manavpreet Kaur Yohann Thomas

It reimburses travel expenses for Wikimedian volunteers who present about Wikimedia at non-Wikimedia events. Its closure comes as a consequence of the grants restructure following our 2015 Reimagining Grants consultation. [2] As we have redesigned our grant programs to better meet the needs of our stakeholders, we are no longer resourced to support TPS as a separate program. *We will continue to* *support travel requests as part of our other grant programs*, as follows: *Rapid Grants* will now fund travel requests for non-Wikimedia events from individuals for up to $2,000 USD, prioritizing applications that include all of the following: * Wikimedian presenters who have a special area of expertise in relation to their target audience (for example, a psychology professor who is sharing about Wikimedia projects at an academic conference for other psychology professionals) * outreach activity with a training component and a plan for online follow-up providing ongoing mentorship and support (editing training, editathon, etc.) * regional travel requests under $2,000 USD *Rapid Grants* will continue to fund travel expenses for local Wikimedia events. Learn more here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/ wiki/Grants:Project/Rapid *Conference and Events Grants* will continue to support travel scholarships for Wikimedia events.

Focus Project Area (FPA) APG 2018-19: Way Forward
by Tanveer Hasan 02 Mar '18

02 Mar '18

નમસ્તે Gujarati Wikimedians I would like to inform you that CIS-A2K is in process of writing 2018-2019 work-plan, and during the process we intend to start working with new projects and language communities. CIS-A2K team has earlier tried to collaborate with Indic communities on other than Focused Language Area (FLA) in form of needs-based support, skill building activities and outreach support. Based on consistent feedback we have received from Indic WIkimedians and as an effort to meaningfully increase our collaboration with the emerging projects/ideas across Indic Wikimedia communities, CIS-A2K is introducing Focus Project Areas (FPA) for the upcoming APG Plan 2018-19. A2K team would like to engage with communities, individuals and Wikimedia project related enthusiasts on a specific project/outcome basis (such as Wikisource, Institutional Partnership, etc) for particular language communities. The projects and ideas will have to align with the strategic vision of the Wikimedia Movement 2030[1] as well as the A2K team's vision plan. We invite community representatives, user groups, individuals who are willing to join hands with A2K team to write to tanveer(a)cis-india.org and tito(a)cis-india.org for further discussions.
