Congrats to Odia wiki community. >From a wiki with almost no activism during 2011 March, now Odia wiki community is grown as one of the most vibrant wiki communities of India. Really appreciate the efforts and pain took by few native language speakers like Subhashih, Srikanth, Ashusthosh, Samvidhan Mohanty, and few others. The support received from Professor Dhanada Mishra during the initial stages also require special mention. Looking forward to hear more inspiring news from Odia community.

Report- Wiki Odia Meetup2, Bengaluru
by Subhashish Panigrahi 24 May '11

24 May '11

Juhara, We have just finished the 4th Meetup for Odia Wikipedia and this was the 2nd Odia Wiki Meet up in Bengaluru on Sunday 2011April22. Totally 7 interested folks attended the event. Odia Wikipedians Ashutosh Kar & Subha Pa headed the event and started the event with a primary introduction of the present status and main agenda of the meetup. Subha Pa demonstrated the basics of Wikipedia, Five pillars, How to Edit Odia Wikipedia, sign up, photo upload and alignment along with basic introduction of syntax for the new users. Then the Wikipedians talked about the issues which came across in the recent days and how they can be solved out. As most of the Wikipedians were either students or working professionals time constraint is one of the biggest huddle, many haven't learn the use of typing tool which will also improve in the coming days. We discussed about Usage of Templates, when and how which template could be used and how new templates which are not there in the En Wiki could also be made.Wikipedians also discussed how much impact the recent Meetupas/Workshops had on the Odia Wikipedia and how such outreach campaigns can boost the growth of the Odia Wikipedia. Odia Wikipedia has announced the first Odia Wki project, to reach 1000 articles before 1 June. Individuals attended the event divided the the whole project based on the user's interest and taken charge of several different aspects. And also we have set the target to add more and more pictures in the coming days related to Odia under the template "*Odia loves Wikipedia"*which will also inspire more people to join in this movement will cover many of the heritage sites which still don't have a photo in Commons, We're motivating more people to upload in Commons so that anyone can access them and use them. Here is the 2nd Bengaluru Wikipedia Odia Meetup link http://or.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:WPOMBLR2 and 1000 Articles before 1 June 2011 http://or.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:Wikiprojects/June/1000_Articles And Odia Wikipedia few new users who already have started working, Mrutyunjay Kar (Enormous contribution for Odia Cinema), Dr. Subhransu Mishra (has written the most extensive article of a medicinal importance) and Sourav Mohanty. And also congratulations to the youngest Odia Wikipedian for contributing maximum amount of templates and making considerable edits. Thanks Royson for the CIS Space and Tinu for the support. Cheers! * ସୁଭପାSubhashishPanigrahi ଓଡ଼ିଆ ଉଇକିପିଡ଼ିଆ _______________________________________________ Wikipedia Odia (Oriya) mailing list wikipedia-or(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikipedia-or facebook.com/OdiaWiki Tweet @OdiaWiki *
