Hi All, I just wanted to remind you all that as per the mailing list info, this is a list dedicated to Gujarati Wikipedia. If you see the list homepage ( https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikipedia-gu), where you all joined this mailing list, its heading reads like... *Wikipedia-gu -- Discussion on Gujarati Wikipedia* Furthermore, going down we have described group's primary and subsidiary focus as well, which reads, "*This is a mailing List for Gujarati Wikipedia primarily, but we may discuss issues relating to other Gujarati projects, such as wiktionary, wikisource, wikiquote, etc.*" Hence, let us abide to this and keep this mailing list focused for the issues related to Gujarati Wikipedia, i.e. gu.wikipedia.org and any other Gujarati language wikiproject, i.e. gu.wikisource, gu.wiktionary, gu.wikiquote, etc. Thanks, Dhaval S. Vyas

Fwd: [Wikimediaindia-l] GLAM-India: Wikipedia and NHHM collaboration
by Arnav Sonara 10 Feb '12

10 Feb '12

FYI See the quoted message below. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Noopur <noopur.raval(a)gmail.com> Date: Sat, Feb 11, 2012 at 1:11 AM Subject: [Wikimediaindia-l] GLAM-India: Wikipedia and NHHM collaboration To: Wikimedia India Community list <wikimediaindia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>, "Wikimedians working on India related content on English Wikipedia & related projects." <wikimedia-in-en(a)lists.wikimedia.org>, Wikimedia Chapters cultural partners coordination <cultural-partners(a)wikimedia.ch>, Wikimedia Chapter Membership <membership(a)wikimedia.in>, Wikipedia Mumbai Mailing List <wikimedia-in-mum(a)lists.wikimedia.org>, Wikipedia Pune Mailing List <wikimedia-in-pun(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Dear all, I am extremely delighted to announce India's first (?) GLAM collaboration with a State institution in New Delhi, the capital of India. The* National Handicrafts and Handlooms Museum (NHHM)*, New Delhi has approved our draft and we will soon begin a 6 month pilot project with them. I have been corresponding with their director for over 2 months now, since the GLAMcamp in Amsterdam. After a series of conversations with the Director, Dr Ruchira Ghose, I sent in an approval and after two meetings, she sent in a revised proposal to the Ministry of Culture in India. Just two days ago, the Ministry approved this project and has also provided her a small grant to support our incidental expenses. NHHM has over 30,000 objects including pottery, textiles, metal work, paintings and more. *Goals:* - 6 month pilot project to churn out 25 'Good Articles'. - Training staff and capacity building - Recruiting 10 new editors from art colleges to work on site for digitization/documentation - Make the museum a regular avenue for GLAM meets Note: Good Articles here doesn't mean GA by en-WP standards. We intend to create at least 25 articles with substantial information. Would like your inputs on this. *Challenges: * - Delhi has a small community, so we *really *need help from EVERYONE possible, local and global - The staff members are only comfortable with Hindi, so we'd appreciate ALL help possible from hi-WP editors - *Biggest challenge: *India is a vast country with craft traditions in millions of villages. So, at the time of acquiring, many art objects do not come with published information, documentation and references. Much of this stuff is 'word of mouth', oral traditions and stories of artisans etc. We have asked the Museum to start documenting and publishing these stories under their Publication cell BUT that will take time. Do you think using oral citations in this case would be helpful? - Since this is my/our first time, we will appreciate guidance on scanning, making an MoU and help creating/maintaining the project page. Can someone please help? *makes puppy face* I apologize for this really long mail but, my next meeting with the Director is on the 14th of February when we will start our 'lead-up' program to the project. *To all the WiRs: *Did you make some sort of a program schedule or a timeline that I could use? I would love all your suggestions on this project and am *very* excited to make my own share of GLAM contributions and mistakes :) Of course, now we will also start contributing to TGIM.

[Wikimediaindia-l] Wikimania 2012 - scholarship applications, Deadline : 16 Feb 2012
by Tinu Cherian (Wikimedia India) 31 Jan '12

31 Jan '12

Cross-posting to other lists. Ignore if you have already seen this on another mailing list. Hi all, Wikimania is the annual international conference of Wikimedians , jointly hosted by the local team ( usually local chapter) and the Wikimedia Foundation. The previous conferences were held in Frankfurt, Germany (2005), Boston, USA (2006), Taipei, Taiwan (2007), Alexandria, Egypt (2008), Buenos Aires, Argentina (2009), Gdan'sk, Poland (2010), and Haifa, Israel (2011). This year, it is to be held in Washington DC, United States of America, on July 12-14 , 2012. http://wikimania2012.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page <http://wikimania2012.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page> I have attended the Wikimanias in Gdansk and Haifa, along with several other Wikipedians from India. http://wiki.wikimedia.in/Wikimania2011 <http://wiki.wikimedia.in/Wikimania2011> I highly recommend everyone to apply and attend Wikimania ! Like every year, The Wikimedia Foundation is offering a limited number of scholarships to offset the cost of select individuals' attendance at Wikimania. Both full and partial scholarships are available for Wikimania 2012: Full scholarships will award round trip travel, dorms accommodations and registration. Partial scholarships will subsidize up to 300EUR of travel expenses. Scholarship recipients have to bear themselves the additional costs of taxis, visa & travel agent charges etc. More Information : http://wikimania2012.wikimedia.org/wiki/Scholarships <http://wikimania2012.wikimedia.org/wiki/Scholarships> Apply here : https://secure.wikidc.org/wm/schols/ <https://secure.wikidc.org/wm/schols/> Deadline : *16 Feb 2012* Around 30 % of the scholarship are allocated to Asia & Pacific, so there are more chances of scholarship applications from India to be selected. :) Please note that the selection is mostly based on the merit of the applications. One of the common mistakes that Wikimedians in India make is that we aren't enough vocal of what we do. So please do write in detail about your Wikimedia activities. Please feel free to forward this to various language and city mailing lists and encourage other Wikimedians to apply. All the best wishes! Regards Tinu Cherian

[Wikimediaindia-l] Report on small meetup in Ahmedabad
by Arnav Sonara 27 Jan '12

27 Jan '12

Hello everyone, On 24th January 2012, a small meetup was organized in L.D. College of Engineering Ahmedabad, I thank Kothari Harsh and Shah Smit from the college to organize this on such short notice (less than 24 hours). After the successful photo walk and a small Wiki 11 celebration, I thought this would help out in sustaining a community there too. The meetup was attended by 7 people in total, I gave them a small presentation of Wikipedia and idea of how exactly the community works and what does a community do. I also shared my experiences as a CA in IEP and as an editor on EN and GU WP too for past 1 year. After the presentation we had a good discussion on how they can help building a strong community from Gujarat, Kartik Mistry shared his experiences of working collaboratively in FOSS and Debian Community. He blogged <http://kartikm.wordpress.com/2012/01/25/meeting-with-arnav/> about this meetup too. I also showed them Gujarat Transliteration<http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:Narayam/Guajrati/Transliterati…>and Gujarati Inscript<http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:Narayam/Gujarati/InScript>of Extension:Narayam which needs help, Kartik has agreed to help us in this. Thanks. I also showed them the list of places of interest in Ahmedabad which could be developed as articles User:AhsLin/Ahmedabad, which Ashwin created and asked them to start helping out in this too. I request everyone from the community and WMF to help them as and when required, and lets have one strong community from Gujarat too. Thanks. -- Thanks Arnav (ricku).
