[Wikimediaindia-l] 3rd Bangalore Odia Wiki Meetup- Odia Wikipedia reaches 1500 articles
Hi folks, Good morning from Odia Wiki Community. Yesterday we had a small meetup to celebrate the *1500 articles Celebration *attended by 6 old and 1 new Wikipedians. Agenda: *Current status:* The substantial growth and the initiatives taken to improve the status of Odia Wikipedia was discussed. Odia Wikipedia was dormant for almost 8 years which just started reviving itself in the beginning of this year and made a leap of almost 1000 well written articles in this short span with the bandwidth of a small community with less active members. Bangalore was the stepping stone for the revival of Odia Wikipediahttp://or.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%AC%89%E0%AC%87%E0%AC%95%E0%AC%BF%E0%AC%AA%E0%AC%BF%E0%AC%A1%E0%AC%BC%E0%AC%BF%E0%AC%86:%E0%AC%AE%E0%AD%87%E0%AC%B3%E0%AC%A3/%E0%AC%AC%E0%AD%87%E0%AC%99%E0%AD%8D%E0%AC%97%E0%AC%BE%E0%AC%B3%E0%AD%81%E0%AC%B0%E0%AD%81/%E0%AC%AC%E0%AD%87%E0%AC%99%E0%AD%8D%E0%AC%97%E0%AC%BE%E0%AC%B3%E0%AD%81%E0%AC%B0%E0%AD%81%E0%AD%A7and in the 3rd Bangalore Wikipedia Meetuphttp://or.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%AC%89%E0%AC%87%E0%AC%95%E0%AC%BF%E0%AC%AA%E0%AC%BF%E0%AC%A1%E0%AC%BC%E0%AC%BF%E0%AC%86:Meetup/Bangalore/Bangalore3we have celebrated 1500 articles. * Projects:* Discussion regarding 2 ongoing projects. *Odia loves Wikipediahttp://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Odia_loves_Wikipedia :* An event in Commons to bring out media files uploaded by Odia Wikians. This event has reached 351 media files. *Wikipedia for Odia Literature:* An event which is created to uplift the presence of Odia language and literature in Wikipedia, chronological documentations and media files collection. This is running in both in the Wikipedia as well as Commons. Under this event Odia Wikipedia has attained 131 articles in Odia Wikipedia http://or.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odia_sahitya and 37 images in Commons.http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Odia_literature *Further plans:* The next target was set up with attaining 500 more articles to beat Gurumukhi Wikipedia which presently has 2003 articles as both of these Wikipedias took birth in the same time. We also have discussed to discourage creation of stubs without taking care of them for further expansion, creation and used of templates, categories, good citaions. Plans for more outreach programs by collaborating the Odia literature departments of several known colleges and universities was also talked of. Wikipedians debated how Wikipedia could be a fair and reliable source and at times how much beneficial it'd be when most of today's generation are moving out of books and internet has become a repository of unending knowledge and its regional context when an ancient language like Odia is considered, whether or not it is needed to work for Wikipedia, or find any better alternative.

Heartiest congratulations to the Odia community. It's wonderfully inspiring to see a small Indic wikipedia build up so systematically. I love the fact that you are focused on building the community and - as a result - able to build quality. Onwards to the next milestone! …which is going to be sooner than you plan for, I'm sure.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] 3rd Bangalore Odia Wiki Meetup- Odia Wikipedia reaches 1500 articles
Subashish, thank you for the detailed repor. Kudos to all wikipedians. Regards arun On 29-Aug-2011, at 2:41 PM, Subhashish Panigrahi psubhash...@gmail.com wrote: Hi folks, Good morning from Odia Wiki Community. Yesterday we had a small meetup to celebrate the 1500 articles Celebration attended by 6 old and 1 new Wikipedians. Agenda: Current status: The substantial growth and the initiatives taken to improve the status of Odia Wikipedia was discussed. Odia Wikipedia was dormant for almost 8 years which just started reviving itself in the beginning of this year and made a leap of almost 1000 well written articles in this short span with the bandwidth of a small community with less active members. Bangalore was the stepping stone for the revival of Odia Wikipedia and in the 3rd Bangalore Wikipedia Meetup we have celebrated 1500 articles. Projects: Discussion regarding 2 ongoing projects. Odia loves Wikipedia: An event in Commons to bring out media files uploaded by Odia Wikians. This event has reached 351 media files. Wikipedia for Odia Literature: An event which is created to uplift the presence of Odia language and literature in Wikipedia, chronological documentations and media files collection. This is running in both in the Wikipedia as well as Commons. Under this event Odia Wikipedia has attained 131 articles in Odia Wikipedia and 37 images in Commons. Further plans: The next target was set up with attaining 500 more articles to beat Gurumukhi Wikipedia which presently has 2003 articles as both of these Wikipedias took birth in the same time. We also have discussed to discourage creation of stubs without taking care of them for further expansion, creation and used of templates, categories, good citaions. Plans for more outreach programs by collaborating the Odia literature departments of several known colleges and universities was also talked of. Wikipedians debated how Wikipedia could be a fair and reliable source and at times how much beneficial it'd be when most of today's generation are moving out of books and internet has become a repository of unending knowledge and its regional context when an ancient language like Odia is considered, whether or not it is needed to work for Wikipedia, or find any better alternative.

[Wikimediaindia-l] 36th Bangalore Wiki Meetup Summary- 14 August 201
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Bangalore/Bangalore36 Hi folks, My sincere apologies for the late writeup. The 36th Bangalore Wiki Meetup was organized on 14 Aug 2011 at CIS, Bengaluru and attended by 8 Wikipedians. Talks *Shiju* Shiju was formally greeted by the Bangalore community for being appointed as a consultant by the foundation for Indic initiatives. He shared his experience in Wikimania-2011, Hafia, Israel, how he interacted with the attendees over there, the motivation and interest and also the growth perspectives which could also be part of his initiatives in the coming days. He spoke about the discussions held over. *Hisham* Hisham has explained about the tidbits of the Pune pilot program to the Bangalore community, the details of the outreach movement and its outcome. He also explained about the mobo initiatives of the foundation to make Wikipedia available for handheld mobile devices. Indic initiatives would be one of the other prime focus of the foundation in terms of facilitating the growth of Indian Wikipedias. Wikipedias of The Netherlands and Germany might be used as a helping entity where the substantial growth and the strategy lying therein would also help program new plans for Indian as well as English Wikipedia in India. He also spoke about GLAM, successful initiatives in several museums in the UK and how the same strategies could be applied here to guide people to contribute more for Wikipedia. Hisham also talked about distribution of 90,000 laptops in Government schools in Assam and helping the students use and contribute for Wikipedia. He showed the glimpse of Pune programs, how Nikhil from the Pune community visited school to school to bring out an active mass for the pilot program. He also mentioned the statistics of the Pune how 20 Campus ambassadors with the guidance of 100 teachers brought out thousands of articles. *Nitika* Hisham introduced Nitika to the Bangalore community. She then was greeted by the community and talked briefly about her new position, the motivation and participation and interests. *Doscussions:* *Srikanth R.* Srikanth spoke about the geo-tagging in commons, explained how it would help to locate places in off and in-Wiki, demonstrated photo upload in Commons and spoke about the benefits of uploading high quality photos in Commons with the commercial tags attached by the photographer as most photographers about their photos uploaded in Commons can never be sold by them. EC president Arjuna interacted about the chapter and its coordination with the community where Arun had interaction with the other members. * ସୁଭପାSubhaPa ___ Wikipedia Odia (Oriya) mailing list wikipedia...@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikipedia-or facebook.com/OdiaWiki Tweet @OdiaWiki * ___ Wikimediaindia-l mailing list Wikimediaindia-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaindia-l

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] On creating an Indian Wikisource
The only threat I can see is the proposal to the GOI to unilaterally push back public domain dates to fall in conformity with EU guidelines. Gautam had circulated a post about this some time ago. If that happens, this idea gets shelved. We may consider the Canada option at the moment.
