Hello all,
Croptool has stopped working for pdf/djvu files for a while now. See -
https://github.com/danmichaelo/croptool/issues/174
Is there any Wikisource community who have figured out some workaround or
hack? Or any news about the tool?
Regards,
Bodhisattwa
Hi guys,
during the Wikisource triage meetings we discussed the opportunity of
using Foundation and Chapter grants in order to improve the project
(focusing on the ProofreadPage extension), instead of waiting for the
Annual Wishlist or hoping for some computer scientist user with a lot of
good will. Other User Groups regularly ask for grants with success, even if
the activities do not directly improve the projects.
We were lucky because WMI (Wikimedia Italy) funded two grants we requested.
We asked for grants for developers on very punctual tasks.
Sohom is adapting theEdit-in-sequence gadget, used in some projects, to
have it natively in the ProofreadPage extension. Jay is upgrading the
BookReader (currently, this tool is limited to the Indic Wikisource
community) so that other global Wikisource communities can also use it.
Sam is supervising in his work hours the two projects.
Here's the link to the WMI announcement:
https://www.wikimedia.it/news/sostenere-le-idee-dei-volontari-per-liberare-…
Let's hope that we can pursue this course of action in the future, in order
to have efficient and up-to-date projects. Check with your local chapter if
there are grants available for developers, and join us in the Triage
meetings!
Cheers,
Alex

Hi all,
tldr: vote here to preselect candidate to the Foundation board
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1zKhQC-KbSdpfBm-8L0_AIkDTZd0qO8tlrzxTCFJUgVM
As you may know, this year is an election year for the board of the
Wikimedia Foundation. The process is a bit complicated, but here are the
two main steps for us as an user group :
- from now until July 15 : preselection (selection 6 of the 12 candidates)
- from August 15 to August 29 : final vote (selection of 2 of the 6
preselected candidates)
You can see all the details, including the candidates and the timeline on
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2022.
For this whole process, I am the primary contact who will cast the vote but
we *all* make the decision, I see myself as merely the messenger for the
group here.
For the first step, I invite you to vote on this Google forms :
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1zKhQC-KbSdpfBm-8L0_AIkDTZd0qO8tlrzxTCFJUgVM
You can select any candidate and how many as you want, the six persons with
the most vote "Yes" will be the one I'll cast. The vote starts today and
lasts a week, I'll close it on July 13th at 24:00 (UTC). I'll also share
the results here and on the Telegram group.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me (in public here or in
private).
Cheers,
Nicolas Vigneron
Sorry if this was already mentioned on the list, I didn't see it:
«The Wikimedia Foundation is looking for a Senior Program Officer,
Libraries. In this role, you will work at the intersection of
librarianship and the Wikimedia movement to grow and diversify
information sources—in all languages—and invite librarians to contribute
their specialized knowledge and skills to Wikimedia projects.»

Subject: Long Live Linux Users Groups
To: ILUG-Chennai <ilugc(a)freelists.org>
Today, we had our weekly Kanchi Linux Users Group, online via
https://meet.jit.si Platform.
All the meeting was on Tamil Language.
Dhanasekar introduced Docker. He explored the basic usage, writing Docker
files and demonstrated how to build and run Docker images.
Mohan explained how chroot is mother of all virtualization solutions like
Docker, Podman, LXC, snap, flatpak etc.
Then, We started to discuss on many things on the FOSS world.
Many students studying at https://Payilagam.com joined. For many of them,
it is a new experience to hear the open source discussions in Tamil itself.
The very good thing Payilagam does is, they ask all the students to install
LinuxMint on their machines. It is a mandatory thing. After showing linux
on their machine only, their classes starts.
As the students have the linux already, now they are enabled to learn
millions of new things on their computer. They attend various tech meetups.
They attend Kanchi Linux Users Group, Indian Linux Users Group Chennai (
ILUGC ), ChennnaiPy meetups. Few of them are already giving talks.
A switch to Linux OS will open millions of gates in Life.
In todays meeting, we asked all the participants to give one talk on the
upcoming meetups. The LUGs are the best place to start learning. Not only
tech. It will give all the life skills. For me, ILUGC, KanchiLUG,
Villupuram LUG gave me life long friends, tons of learnings, and the
ability to do anything on the world.
Today, wondered to know about Badri from Villupuram. Villupuram LUG is
celebrating Software Freedom Day every year. 8 years ago, when he was at
9th standard, he attended one Software Freedom Day celebration there. He
got to know about Linux OS, Free Software philosophies, Free Hardware and
all major free software. He installed Linux and started using it. He
explored all the distros. He learnt mobile development, flutter on his
collge days. He started to talk about linux to all his friends, and moving
them all to Linux. He is still at his final year of collge. He got job
already as a flutter development. He is using Manjora Linux. Good to know
it is used in remote deep villages too.
Another one is from Gopinath. He started to attend ChennaiPy meetups. Then
he joined ILUGC meetings. He still remember that we were celebrating Debian
Buster Release with a cake cutting on ILUGC meet. Since then he is
attending all possible open source related meetups. He grows on knowledge
and career along with all these meetings.
Annamalai from Trichy NIT. Told that ChennaiPy Vijay and Creator of Ezhil
Language Muthu are from NIT Trichy. They are part of NIT LUG on those days.
That LUG spirit is still driving them even after many years,. Asked him to
restart LUG activities there.
Kavitha told that she is a security expert. She told that she is looking
for a tamil tech community for long time and happy to find us. She agreed
to give talks on upcoming meetings.
Dhanasekaran is a Civil engineer. Still using Linux for past 18 years. He
is interested in Free Hardware. He will give talks on that soon.
Happy to know that many people are following https://Kaniyam.com as it is
the only online magazine for Free/Open Source Software. Thanks for all the
contributors for Kaniyam.com for keeping it alive for 10+ years.
Missed to write about many participants. Will take better notes next time.
It is really a social revolution that all the Linux Users Groups are doing,
silently. Even a small meetup, a Linux Demo day, a software freedom day can
open up someone mind and it will lead to great life change for them.
Even my life started to shift it gears after ILUGC meetings only. The pains
I took to travel to attend ILUGC meeting, from Kanchipuram to Chennai, are
still paying back to me with good job, good skills and never ending
learnings.
I request all of you join a nearby Linux User Group. If not start one. It
is so easy to start a LUG. Just find one or two supporting people and start
spreading the software freedom. Even the small regular activities can lit
light on many people’s life. You dont need to be an expert to give a talk.
Just share what ever you are learning.
Another tip here. If you want to learn any topic deeply, announce a talk on
that. It will make to read a lot, practice a lot. On giving a talk, you
will learn tons of things. Thats what I follow for many years.
I wish there is a Linux Users Group, in every village, every town, every
city, every college. They will build a great human society, because Linux
is not just a Operating system. It is a life style.
Long Live all the existing Linux User Groups, all around the world.
Thanks for all who are contributing to all LUG activities.
