We'll be coming down to Goa towards the end of this month to organise *Konkani Wikipedia workshops*. I'm writing to check with you if you'd like to organise one at Goa University especially for students interested in Konkani. Like last time, we'd want to limit the number of participants to maximum 20 and would require access to computers and internet in your computer lab. Days following the workshop we'll be orgniasing 2 day long event - a Konkani translation sprint and Wikipedia edit-a-thon. All the participants who attend our workshop will be invited for these 2 events. (we are also considering giving out certificates to students) Please let me know if you, your staff and students will be interested to organise this workshop on the 26th or 27th July. Also if you could figure out what's the best time to conduct this workshop and inform me about the same. In addition, our Programme Director - Vishnu Vardhan (I think you all have already met/spoken with him) would also like to discuss with you the possibility of doing a Wikipedia Education Program at Goa University. Maybe once we come down to Goa for the workshop would be the best time to take this up. We have great plans to spread awareness about Konkani Wikipedia in the coming year and we look forward to your cooperation. Looking forward to hear from you soon.
