Cross posting. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Vishnu <visdaviva(a)gmail.com> Date: Tue, Oct 28, 2014 at 5:44 PM Subject: [Wikimediaindia-l] Support to Community participation - Wikipedia at Swatantra 2014 To: wikimediaindia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Dear Wikimedians, This e-mail is to take your suggestions about the below proposal. As some of you may know that Swatantra 2014 (5th International Free Software Conference, Kerala) is being held in Trivandrum during December 18-20, 2014. More details can be found at this link http://icfoss.in/fs2014.html. Organized by ICFOSS (GoK) this event is set to attract hundreds of Free Software enthusiasts. CIS is one of the supporters of this conference. There is a dedicated track for Wikipedia/Wikimedia during the conference. We are also planning to set up a Wikimedia stall at the event. We are hoping to have ML Wikimedians take lead on this. We are considering to give travel and stay scholarships for select Wikimedians from across India, who are interested to participate in this event and benefit from it. This will also be a great opportunity to meet and interact with Malayalam Wikimedia community. CIS-A2K is considering to support upto 2 Wikimedians from each language community. Interested Wikimedians will be asked to put up a request, along with a statement of purpose, in their respective Wikimedia Village pumps and will request the community members to second them. Based on the community response CIS-A2K will decide on providing travel and stay scholarships. CIS-A2K will support this as part of its Community Strengthening Initiatives [1] Please let us know your suggestions on the above process and share your inputs on how we could do this in a better manner. We would like to put out a call by November 10. We will be open to receiving your feedback until November 7, 2014. You could also leave your feedback on Meta here [2] Best wishes, Vishnu [1] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/India_Access_To_Knowledge/Draft_Work_plan_J… [2] http://bit.ly/1tBuWpT _______________________________________________ Wikimediaindia-l mailing list Wikimediaindia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from the list / change mailing preferences visit https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaindia-l -- With thanks & regards *Rahimanuddin Shaik* నాని [image: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/meta/0/08/Wikipedia-logo-v2_1x.png] reachout ఒక విశ్వాన్ని ఊహించండి, ఎక్కడయితే ప్రతి మనిషి ఒక సంపూర్ణ విజ్ఞానభాండారాన్ని అందరితో పంచుకోగలడో, ఆ విశ్వాన్ని ఊహించండి. *అటువంటి విశ్వాన్ని నెలకొల్పడమే మా సంకల్పం.* తెలుగు వికీపీడియా : http://te.wikipedia.org CIS-A2K Program : http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/India_Access_To_Knowledge CIS-INDIA : http://cis-india.org A new address for ebooks : http://kinige.com *తెలుగువారికి సాంకేతిక సహాయం - http://techsetu.com <http://techsetu.com/>*

Fwd: Wikimedia India Chapter: Current state of affairs

02 Sep '14

FYI ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jayanta Nath <jayanta(a)wikimedia.in> Date: Mon, Sep 1, 2014 at 10:45 PM Subject: Wikimedia India Chapter: Current state of affairs To: wmin-members(a)googlegroups.com Cc: "Discussion list on Indian language projects of Wikimedia." < wikimediaindia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Dear Wikimedia India Chapter members and other interested stakeholders in the list, Dear members, The Executive committee of Wikimedia India has held an emergency teleconference on their official DSNL channel on 31 Aug 2014. As salient items on the agenda, the following topics were discussed and decided upon: 1. Earlier, Radhakrishna Arvapally, a senior chapter member and former Chair of Bangalore SIG, was co-opted by an emergency resolution. The resolution was passed unanimously. The resolution had also proposed another senior member. However, due to heavy personal engagements, the second nominee requested the EC to exempt from such considerations. Radhakrishna was invited to the telecon and was officially welcomed to be part of the EC. 2. Jayanta Nath, a senior Wikipedian from Kolkata and EC member, was unanimously elected as the new President of the Wikimedia India Chapter. Also, Radhakrishna Arvapally and Viswanathan Prabhakaran were elected as the new Secretary and Treasurer of the chapter respectively. 3. Any decision about hiring is kept on hold for now. The current EC agreed together that the opinion of the new EC (emerging through the upcoming general elections) should also be taken on-board for a major decision like this, since they are the ones to deal with the newly hired candidate(s)for a longer term. 4. Another extra ordinary EC Telecon was scheduled to be conducted tentatively on 02 September 2014, 9.00 PM to take up other urgent matters pending for decisions. This is for the general information for all chapter members and other interested stakeholders. Thank You, Jayanta Nath President Wikimedia India Chapter

CIS-A2K Bulletin June 2014

Dear all, We from the Centre for Internet and Society's Access To Knowledge (CIS-A2K) thank you all for your support and collaboration. Below is the details of our work for the month of June: Telugu Books Re-release Under Creative Commons License Ten Telugu Books Re-released Under CC-BY-SA 3.0 License <http://cis-india.org/openness/blog/ten-telugu-books-re-released-under-cc-by…> (by Rahmanuddin Shaik, June 22, 2014). For the first time in the history of Indian books, 10 Telugu books by a single author were released under Creative Commons license (CC-BY-SA 3.0) on June 22, 2014 at 10 a.m. at Golden Threshold, Abids, Hyderabad. CIS-A2K has collaborated with Telugu Wikipedians in convincing Indu Gnaana Vedika to re-release 10 of their books under CC-BY-SA 3.0 license which is compatible with Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects. Unlike the predominant digitization efforts (which only makes scanned images available), these books will be uploaded on Telugu Wikisource <http://www.te.wikisource.org/> and converted into Unicode (searchable) text. This will ensure that these books are freely read, both online and offline in various formats like PDF, epub, mobi, text, etc. This is a major milestone initiative by CIS-A2K to make the sum of all knowledge in Telugu freely available to all Telugus over the internet and is part of its Telugu language area plan <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/India_Access_To_Knowledge/Draft_Work_plan_J…> .

Fwd: [Wikimedia-l] Please spread the word: Tools only on Tool Labs from July 1

Below FYI. Vishnu -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Please spread the word: Tools only on Tool Labs from July 1 Date: Wed, 04 Jun 2014 12:50:34 +0200 From: Silke Meyer <silke.meyer(a)wikimedia.de> Reply-To: Wikimedia Mailing List <wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Organization: Wikimedia Deutschland e.V. To: Wikimedia Mailing List <wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Hi all, please spread the word: Tools only on Tool Labs from July 1 About one year ago, we, Wikimedia Deutschland e. V., announced June 30th as the deadline of the Toolserver migration (Roadmap at [1]). This deadline is approaching. The Toolserver will stop working on June 30th. What will happen afterwards? Background information The Toolserver is a community based infrastructure that hosts software supporting Wikipedia and its sister projects. Over the years many active volunteers have developed helpful and great software tools that are running on several Wikimedia projects. The Toolserver is operated by Wikimedia Deutschland with assistance from the Wikimedia Foundation and several chapters. For many reasons, the Toolserver will be discontinued and replaced by Tool Labs [2], a platform operated by the Wikimedia Foundation. Please see the reasons at [3]. For more than one year Wikimedia Deutschland has been coordinating the migration of software tools from Toolserver to Tool Labs. What editors should know The toolserver is a community-driven project. The tools shall be migrated by the developers resp. maintainers themselves. Many of them have already migrated their tools or have indicated that they will do so before the end of this month. We have a special agreement with the OpenStreetMap projects and with the developer of Merlbot [4] to ensure these tools don’t stop working. All other tools will stop working by July 1st. What editors can do * On Tool Labs [2], you can look up if the tools that you use and need have already moved there. * Talk to the developers of your favourite tools: It is important to let them know how much you appreciate their tools and that you need them to do your work. * Contact us if you don’t know who these developers are or if you have any questions or if you want us to forward wishes or requests to tool developers. Contact information is given at the end of this text. Information for tool developers If you are still facing the migration of your tools, please keep in mind that lots of people use your tools. They are a great support for their daily work and will be missed when they fail. Please take the time to migrate them or poke us: WMDE can still support you during migration - what we can’t do is maintain abandoned tools in the long run. From July 1st on, the toolserver admins will still hand you over your backups upon request and create redirects to Tool Labs for you. *You won’t be able to log in to the toolserver anymore though.* If anyone wants to have and reuse other people’s code, we recommend to seek approval from them directly, even if from a legal point of view there is no problem. Don’t hesitate to talk to us if you need a contact person. Here is a collection of the relevant links for you again: * Tool Labs: http://tools.wmflabs.org * Tool Labs help pages: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Nova_Resource:Tools/Help * How to create redirects to Tool Labs: https://wiki.toolserver.org/view/.htaccess#.htaccess * Magnus Manske’s migration manual: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Magnus_Manske/Migrating_from_tools… * Scripts to clean up your toolserver account]] after migration: https://wiki.toolserver.org/view/Main_Page * Mailing list Labs-l: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/labs-l * IRC channel #wikimedia-labs: http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#wikimedia-labs * Marc-André Pelletier (Coren) and Andrew Bogott (andrewbogott) are the WMF Tool Labs ops. Petr Bena (petan) and Tim Landscheidt (scfc_de) are voluntary Tool Labs admins. We invite you to join our IRC office hour in #wikimedia-office on Wednesday, June 11th, at 5 p.m. UTC. Contact: The migration is coordinated by Silke Meyer (WMDE). Birgit Müller supports her in communications. The two toolserver admins Marlen Caemmerer und Alexander Mette are glad to help you with advice. Marc-André Pelletier can answer all questions concerning Tool Labs. Contact us at Silke: silke.meyer(a)wikimedia.de, Talk page at [5], IRC: Silke_WMDE Birgit: birgit.mueller(a)wikimedia.de, Talk page at [6], IRC: Birgit_WMDE We hope that the transition will happen as smoothly as possible!
