Hello all,
We are excited to announce a 3-months long proofread competition which will
run on Bangla Wikisource from September 1 to November 30, 2021 as a result
of an ongoing GLAM collaboration between the Two Centuries of Indian Print
(2CIP) project of the British Library (BL) and the West Bengal Wikimedians
User Group (WBG). This is the second proofread competition under the GLAM
project, the first one happened in March-April.
The event page of the competition is here - https://bn.wikisource.org/s/gwen
(in Bangla)
The GLAM event page is here - https://bn.wikisource.org/s/gt5i (also in
Bangla)
Under the project, 2CIP officials will be uploading public domain Bangla
books from their collection on Wikimedia Commons and our volunteers will
take care of the rest of the work from indexing, proofreading, transcluding
etc. on Wikisource along with building their data on Wikidata. The prizes
to the top 5 winners for this competition will be sent by WBG and BL will
send digital certificates to each one of them.
For those who are interested to learn more about the project, there is a
video recording of the Wikimania session on this -

Hello Indic Wikisource proofreaders,
We are happy to announce that the Indic Wikisource Proofreadthon 2021 [1]
is starting from tomorrow 15 August 2021 and will continue up to 31 August
2021.
Like last year, we are facing the devastating effects of COVID-19, we urge
you to stay inside your home to avoid exposure to the deadly virus.
We are also expecting higher participation than the previous contest
We heartily welcome new Wikimedians from various parts of the country to
work on restoring our literary heritage to the digital era. Just like the
previous contest held in November 2020, we again promising to wrap up
everything within the expected timeline after the competition ends. We are
going to keep our promise again. :-)
Welcome you all to the contest.
Regards,
Jayanta Nath

Hello all,
Is it ok for all, if I book slot(s) at Wikimania Unconference
<https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2021:Unconference> for Wikisource
meetup? If yes, what would be the preferred date and time? Or can we have
multiple meetups to accommodate all timezones?
The tables in the Unconference can only accommodate 20 people max. So, if
there are enough interested Wikisourcers, multiple tables can also be
booked for a given period of time, but the inherent structure of the Remo
platform will prevent inter-table interaction among participants, which is
the only disadvantage.
Please share your thoughts on how to move forward.
Regards,
Bodhisattwa
