Thank you, Ashwin. That was on the issue of images only but, for
example, there is still the issue of stuff that is currently in the PD
in India but not outside India.

Or have I misunderstood this?

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.

Warm regards,

[Wikimediaindia-l] 36th Bangalore Wiki Meetup Summary- 14 August 201

[Subhashish Panigrahi]

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.

Glad to see the great progress by Odia Wikipedia.
Another proof of the need of building active Wiki communities for the growth
of the Wikimedia projects.

Well done, Odia Wikipedians !

[Hisham Mundol]

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.

Warmest Regards,

Hisham Mundol

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.



Thank you all for reading. Expecting your valuable feedback and comments

Good work subhashish,

Have you thought about organising article writing/participation contests?.
It is a good way to attract new participants.

Bala

Thank you, Subhashish, for the report.

Really great to see the growth of a Wikipedia once the community

[Wikimediaindia-l] 3rd Bangalore Odia Wiki Meetup- Odia Wikipedia reaches 1500 articles

[Subhashish Panigrahi]

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
Wikipediaand
in the 3rd
Bangalore Wikipedia
Meetupwe
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.

Thank you all for reading. Expecting your valuable feedback and comments
