 What interests me is this:

 Content Creation
 The National Mission on Education through Information and
 Communication Technology (NME-ICT) has proposed 18 different line
 items for content creation. All content that is created under this
 Mission needs to meet the following criteria:

 · It should be related to education delivery.
 · It should involve faculty from different institutions
 · All IP (Intellectual Property) created under projects funded
 by this Mission will vest with MHRD


This by itself may not be a problem, as long as it is copyrighted with an
appropriate CC clause.
Let us send a representation.

 Will the Chapter consider doing this? And the India Office too? Maybe
 we can ask CC-India as well and CIS too?


I'm a a little confused: the wording says IP will reside with MoHRD if the
project is funded by this Mission, whereas afaik, no MHRD funding at all,
never mind this mission, has come to any part of the Wikimedia community in
India. There is no question, therefore, of copyright being 'vested' with
them, and we only need make this clear in the representation.

It should in addition be made clear, therefore, that any content taken from
any Wikimedia project, including Wikipedia, comes with the appropriate CC
copyright.

That is the discussion about the Wikiconference logo, correct me if I'm
wrong, Hackathon and Wikiconference are two separate events, and two
separate logos. The hackathon logo was not discussed as far as I know, there
is a single email from GerardM in the middle of the thread linking to the
hackathon logo but nothing after that. That entire thread is about someone
changing the Wikiconference logo a month later with no prior discussion.

If you are on the conference planning list, you might remember, we discussed
the Wikiconference logo *ad nauseum. *You can also see my responses  at the
time in his replies which often included both lists.* *The person who
changed it, did so, without any prior discussion or approval. We had an
ad-hoc voting session after which it was decided to keep the logo, we also
offered to block anyone who changed it without prior approval, the logo is
now protected.

In all that, I have not seen the Hackathon logo discussed once, besides
Gerard linking to it in the middle of the discussion. So I ask again, where
have we had the discussion?

Theo, my understanding is that Bala was talking about the long
discussion we had about logos in general. Not specifically this logo.
And that perhaps the India list isn't the best place to do so.

Thank you.

Best,

Thanks Gautam, as always.

I wasn't sure what discussion Bala was referring to at first, since I didn't
see him on that specific thread on the conference list. I was wondering if
the discussion had taken place elsewhere without informing others, hence the
we in quotes.

Thanks
Theo

Congrats to all the newly elected stewards, and also to WikiTanvir, who is I
think the only steward from South Asia aside from Jyothis.

Warm regards,
