your valuable ideas to plan the future of Free and Open Source ecosystems
in Nepal.

Wikimedians of Nepal
Dear All,
As some of you might already updated and engaged with/ about various
discussions going on in different forums of IT and Open Ecosystems about
upcoming programs/events in Nepal. I would like to seek the opinion of the
Community on following upcoming programs where we can present, build
technical capacity, advocate and raise awareness about Nepalese Wikipedia,
and our ongoing Wiki Loves Monuments.
Following are the three upcoming IT programs in Nepal, and I hope, if we
have sufficient lead/volunteers and human resources for these days, we can
request and get space for showcasing Nepalese Wikipedia the work and
raising awareness and or enhance user base.
1. The first program is CAN SoftTech from September 11-14, 2014 ( Thursday
-Sunday). Its going to be held in Brikuti Mandap. Free and Open Source
Community have been allocated a stall A-37, where we can distribute the
Wikipedia/WLM brochures and leaflets along with presenting the videos that
we have produced on Nepali Wikipedia. Please do share if some of us can
lead/ volunteer for this event from Nepali Wikipedians. And use this space
to talk and interact with a large audience about Wikipedia and/or ongoing
Wiki Loves Monuments competition. As the exhibitors will need special
Pass/Entrance ID card for CAN SoftTech, please do suggest your name ASAP.
2. The Second program is National Science Day September 17-18, 2014
(Wednesday and Thursday). The program is going to be organized at the BP
Planitorium, TU, Kirtipur, which is going to be inaugurated by Prime
Minster on 17th. The Science Day is being by the Ministry of Science,
Technology and Environment, GoN and I am one the member of the organizing
committee. There are many communities coming up for showcasing the work in
IT, science and technology being developed, innovated in Nepal. If we have
sufficient number of volunteers for this program as well, I hope I will be
able to request for one independent stall for Nepalese Wikipedia. Please do
share if some of us might be able to take out two days and volunteer for
this program.
3. The third and final (to this email list) of event is upcoming Software
Freedom Day. The SFD is to be celebrated on September 20th (Saturday).
Unlike last year, this year the FOSS Nepal Community is planning to host
the program with facilitating a platform for discussion and interaction
with and among various Open Communities as has been in the top of
discussion agenda since last Open Data Day program. Please do share if
there is any activities that we as Nepali Wikipedians can propose for this
SFD celebration this year.
Apologies for the long email,
With kind regards,

Greetings! The Wikimedia Foundation Individual Engagement Grants program is
accepting proposals for funding new experiments from September 1st to 30th.
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG>
Your idea can improve Wikimedia projects by building a new tool or gadget,
organizing a better process on your wiki, conducting research on an
important issue, or providing other support for community-building. Whether
you need $200 or $30,000 USD, Individual Engagement Grants can cover your
own project development time in addition to funding for a team to help you.
The program has a flexible schedule and reporting structure, and
Grantmaking staff are there to support you through all stages of the
process.
Do you have have a good idea, but you are worried that it isn’t developed
enough for a grant? Put it into the IdeaLab, where volunteers and staff
can give you advice and guidance on how to bring it to life. <
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab> Also, IEG will be hosting
three Hangout Sessions for real-time discussions to help you make your
proposal better - the first will happen on September 16th. <
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Events#Upcoming_events>
For inspiration, you can read more about past projects that received
funding<https://blog.wikimedia.org/tag/individual-engagement-grants/> or
review open proposals <
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG#ieg-reviewing>. We are excited
to see some of the new ways your grant ideas can support our community and
make an impact on the future of Wikimedia projects.
Submit your proposal in September!

Warm regards,
Ocaasi and the IEG Committee
