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

Dear Wikimedians,

the *Wiki Loves Butterfly (WLB) part-1* and duly submitted the report of
the same and in course of *Wiki Loves Butterfly (WLB) part-2* project,
running nicely towards its targeted goal.
This gives me a great pleasure to announce the *Wiki Loves Butterfly in
North-East India (WLB-NEI)* project is going to start 1st May,2018.
Hereby the WLB team is requesting all wikimedians to visit the project and
contribute as per their choice species and create or develop articles in
their respective native languages and thus resulting in a multilingual
approach to the project. Your honest feedback and suggestion is also
welcome.
If anybody wants to start a similar project in his or her native language,
the WLB team is willing to support in every possible aspect.

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

Hi there, Wikimedians,
I am writing to let you know that the WMF Community Resources team is
closing one of our smaller funding programs, Travel and Participation
Support (TPS) [1]. *TPS will no longer accept applications as of May 1,
2018.*
Some background: TPS was created in 2011 as a movement outreach program. 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. Note that this funding is awarded to conference
organizers who then manage requirements for participants. Requests for more
than $10,000 USD are required to start the application process 6 months
before the date of the proposed event. Learn more here:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Conference
*Wikimania Scholarships* will continue to support travel scholarships for
Wikimania. Learn more here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/
wiki/Grants:TPS/Wikimania_scholars
You can contact me directly if you have any questions.
Warmly,
Katy Love

Hello one & all
As part of the Project Tiger Community Review Team, we are glad to announce

global edits and at least one endorsement were selected to receive the
internet stipend.
* They belong to 15 different Indian language Wikipedia communities.
* 12 among them are females (27% of recipients).
The internet stipend will cover the cost of internet access for the
recipients for a six month period. This will include the cost of monthly
internet access, any deposit for a new connection, and the purchase of any
required equipment like dongle or modem. The stipend will support the cost
of internet access which works best for each recipient be it broadband or
mobile based connection. 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 this support
before the end of March 2018. Please contact tito at cis-india.org or

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.
Regards,
Tanveer Hasan
