Wikisource at the Wikimedia Summit 2020
by Nicolas VIGNERON 28 Feb '20

28 Feb '20

Hi all, This year again, we need to select the representative of the Wikisource Community User Group to the Wikimedia Summit 2020. This year summit is even more focused on strategy and the deadline is December 16. There was some issues with last year process (as pointed by Gurlal report) and time is short, so I think the best would be an online meeting sometimes this week (when ?). Who is interested and available ? (both for the meeting but also to go to Berlin). Cheers, Nicolas

WikiCite Satellite Conference India 2020
by Hardarshan Benipal 26 Feb '20

26 Feb '20

Hello everyone, With great pleasure, we would like to invite you to the WikiCite Satellite Event hosted by the Open Heritage Foundation in New Delhi on April 18,19 2020. Wikicite is a Wikimedia event to develop open citations and linked bibliographic data to serve free knowledge. The Wikimedia community and the GLAM institutions need to understand the dynamics of open bibliographic data better and how it can be scaled proactively with Wikimedia projects and other open-source platforms that are involved in open data. This event will be aimed at addressing the prevalent gap between Wikidata and Wikisource integration for works and their consecutive items. The format and structure of the event would have open calls for collaborators/presenters/participants. The event will be of 2 days and the attendance would be around 15-25 people, including, the stakeholders working with GLAM institutions, Wikisourcers, and Wikidatans interested in bibliographical data. The scholarships and registrations are open from February 26, 2020 and close on March 15, 2020. We also invite the community members to submit proposals for sessions. The date for submissions starts from February 26, 2020 and close on March 11, 2020. The submissions will be taken into account for prioritizing the candidates for scholarships. We look forward to welcoming you to New Delhi in April with the collaborative spirit of this year’s Wikimania theme ‘Sharing knowledge brings people together’ and ‘Power of Diverse Collaboration’.

Heritage GLAM
by Rupika Sharma 24 Feb '20

24 Feb '20

Hello everyone, In Punjab, India, we have been working on GLAM Wiki Project with government institutions of Punjab along with our community, a partnership we have maintained over the last year with numerous meetings with the officials. This year, like last year, we are putting a project grant proposed by Open Heritage Foundation in 2020 round. We have successfully completed the 2019 project and are now moving forward with the second phase of the project which has now grown in scale with a non profit that we have built and grown over the past year. Open Heritage Foundation is a non-profit based in India that works on focussed GLAM initiatives in alignment with Wikimedia's strategic direction. This project is a Glam wiki project centered around Community growth supported by the GLAM partnerships for content generation, Integration with Community engagement around Wikisource and Wikidata, Wikipedia integration via the new tools we are creating in this project grant and the last and one of the crucial elements of the project is improving and expanding the readership scale for Wikisource project. We will also be supporting other Communities via our micro grants and skill sharing knowledge pool that we have collected and grown over the years. We lack adequate sources for citations for curating local encyclopedia content. To improve that, we need projects like these to generate that data so we can document our local knowledge with adequate sources to support that work, similar to the oral wiki project idea that talks about covering the indigenous knowledge sources with non traditional sources of information and knowledge creation. Please feel free to ask any questions if you want to understand more about the project or have any questions for more clarification. We look forward to your feedback, advice and suggestions for improvement in the proposal. We also welcome you to join us as Advisors and collaborators to work together for the success of the project. Regards, >From behalf of Open Heritage Foundation Rupika Sharma Charan Gill Sumita Roy Dutta [1] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Heritage_GLAM_2020 [2] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Wikilover90/Heritage_GLAM/ [3] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Open_Heritage_Foundation/Strategic_Plan_for… [4] http://openheritagefoundation.org/
