Hi everyone, this is just a friendly reminder that the calls for posters, trainings and discussions are opened. Now it is time to start building from the suggestions people put on the Meta liaisons page and submit the actual proposals through the forms[1] :) The deadline is March 20, so maybe in a couple of days you might want to send a reminder to your community.
Thank you and have a nice day,
Aubrey
Thanks for the reminder, Aubrey :) Is there any example of posters that are expected?
And shall we have a Wikisource meetup there?
I am going to try to get holidays to attend this year :)
Have a nice day! Micru

There is an example on the page linked ;)
My question is should we do one general poster about Wikisources or several posters about specific Wikisources ? or maybe both is even better :D
And shall we have a Wikisource meetup there?
We definitely should !

I'll be in Esino too (thank to the WMF grant \o/ )
Have a nice day!
You too.

Of course I'll be there too. An of course we should find a way, as always, to meet as wikisourcians in Esino. I'll be there, so at least there are 3 of us :-)
I think I'm not going to present anything this year: what I'll look into is the perennial issue of lobbying/advocacy within the WMF. In Wien we said all that was needed to say: unfortunately the recent turmoil at the WMF made our request very low priority, but the WMConf in Berlin s a great occasion to restart the conversation (and I'll try to do that).
Meanwhile, I encourage all of you to come up with ideas: for example, the new Google OCR for Indic languages makes a perfect case of very good innovation within our Wikisources, and maybe it would be very helpful, for the community and for the WMF to understand, to gather data and show numbers of what happened and is happening. It would be amazing to show that users are increasing or such other insights.

I'll be in Esino too. And we (=Wikimedia France) will maybe bring the book scanner.

I will be there too. Thanks to the scholarship grant. Its great opportunity for me to have a meet-up and learn from all of you again. It would be great if we have a booth for Wikisource User group in the community village.

Looking forward.

Thanks to the international Wikisource community for all your support and inputs in the process of building the OCR4Wikisource tool. It was only possible because this international community has valued "Language equity" so passionately. Indic language Wikisourcers shall remain ever grateful to all of you for your empathy and understanding. We are now trying to gather data, make help pages in the form of manuals, videos etc., so that other small Wikisource projects, facing similar problems, can benefit themselves. For Esino, we are also planning to make a poster about the project to be displayed in India booth.
