[CherianTinu Abraham]

So can we say "I edit Wikipedia in English Language ? "
Does that count ? ;)

 Noopur,
 Thanks for the ideas, but one small suggestion. Format- Keep it OGV.
 We can't be promoting an open project with a closed format video no?

 Konark,
 Good to see young brains like you volunteering on this.

 Ashwin,
 Can I have a link please?

[Wikimediaindia-l] [event]Code Mixer : Hackathon Event by MixOrg

[Sheel Sindhu Manohar]

*Code Mixer*
Hackathon Event by MixOrg
*Event Introduction :*
Building a web application that focuses on a single industry vertical such
as the education (engineering colleges), Healthcare (Hospitals), Publishing
(Magazines), Fashion wear,and Hospitality( Restaurants and Hotels) . These
are just some of the ideas that can go into the app. We will leave the idea
open and see if they can come up with things which are more
innovative/attractive.

*Eligible Industries:*
1. Restaurant
2. Super Market(e.g. Walmart, Big Baazar, Vishal Mega mart, etc)
3. Shopping Malls

*Technology :*
While we do not want students to build a Facebook application but we want
it ultimately to be used there. So, the web app should follow the size
guidelines of Facebook Canvas ( 510 width * 2000 pixels +length) .
(Recommended : Also, building a Facebook app requires SSL certificate so
students are better off building a stand alone web app.) They can use any
platform/technology and also refer to existing applications on Facebook for
inspiration. Also, they can use social components such like/comment within
their app.

*Scoring:*
The apps will be scored on the basis of the novel ideas that go into it,
the design and User interaction, the reusability of the app, etc

*Terms & Conditions:*
1. Ideas should not be copied or replicated as same from any other web app.
If found registrations will be cancelled.
2. Submission of entries after closing time will not be considered as valid
entry.
3. Extra points for well indented code. Marks will be deducted in case of
hard code.
4. Submit application in .tar.gz and zip.
5. Also containing README file which will be containing all the details
regarding application.

*Contest Duration:*
Opening of registration from 25th February, 2012

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] The Great NITT fiasco ...

[Ashwin Baindur]

I'm told in a Facebook post is that we have a silver lining - that you have
four new editors thanks to the Outreach so imho I'd say your event was not
a fiasco but a success for us in retrospect.

Warm regards,

Ashwin Baindur

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Mobile sites of Indic Wikipedias

[Gerard Meijssen]

Hoi,
I blogged twice today about mobile. Once because of Kannada but more
relevantly because I learned that other projects are now also supported
under Wikipedia mobile. The consequence is that you may want to check out
the mobile main page for other projects in your language.
Thanks,
  Gerard

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] [Wikimedia-in-en] Creating video of Indian Editors "We Edit Wikipedia"

[Noopur]

Just quipping in, if you say it in English it can mean you edit in English.
That can be one way of doing it. :)

 @Srikanth, the final video will be in Commons and obviously with .ogv
 format. But the raw footage will be in .mov/avi/mpeg, they are the formats
 used before editing. After editing we will convert the final video into
 .ogv.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] [Wikimedia-in-en] Creating video of Indian Editors "We Edit Wikipedia"

[Pradeep Mohandas]

it would be good to specify 'in English'. Not everyone might know for
certain that the spoken language is English.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] [Wikimedia-in-en] Creating video of Indian Editors "We Edit Wikipedia"

[Subhashish Panigrahi]

Well,

If someone (e.g. Tinu) is a English Wikipedian, it'll be a lie to say "I
Edit Wikipedia in Malayalam" :)

So, Wikipedians will be saying "I Edit Wikipedia" or will be explaining
(which will be answering the questions mentioned in
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Subha_WMF/sandbox1) in the language
they primarily edit, so, if you edit English Wikipedia, say I edit
Wikipedia in English.

Any more confusions? Please ask Noopur!

Heya all.
I guess, I really need to explain something here.
I was wrong when I blamed the organisers of Pragyan for what happened.
The Fiasco, isn't a FIASCO anymore. We've got four users from the event and I'm 
proud of that.


I believe I have inadvertently caused a flare up which has resulted in a lot of 
people getting shouted out. Tensions are soaring and I believe I caused it.

As far as Accomodation/Travel is considered, from my POV, what I got was 
perfect. Saagar had informed me that guesthouses weren't good enough and I took 
[and still take] his word for it. He slept in the lab so I could sleep in his 
room. 


As for the event, as Sohan pointed out the, delay and internet issues were the 
only issue. The internet issue was mine in entirety. I didn't mention that, OR 
mention anything about a lab. That makes it my fault. 

The MoU: I admit, I didn't read the MoU at all, both the edited and original 
versions of it.  Big mistake. 
Saagar helped me a LOT, and did whatevr was in his power to change the slot to 
a weekend to ensure that Sohan could participate. 

The lack of time and all was because we, [particularly ME] took time in 
arriving at a proper decision. For every 10 mails I got from Saagar, Sohan, 
Nitika, Naveen and Tinu on the matter I sent out only one reply.

I admit, the majority of the goof up was PURELY MY FAULT.


The remaining issus were a direct result of lack of time.

I just feel pathetic that I said whatever I did, because I and several others 
are now at the receiving end of a lot of people.
At the time of writing the first mail, I was at the receiving end of three 
people, one in particular called my session a flop show and blamed everything 
on me, causing me to write that mail.

Now, suddenly I'M  at the recievning end of no less than 16 people.

I feel guilty that the NIT T team, who did their best to make me feel 
comfortable have been put thru this by me.
I learnt a lot at Pragyan, it was my first tech first, to be honest, and I 
really enjoyed the guest lecture that I attended, which I feel is specially 
significant to Wikipedia, which I shall write separately about soon.

Sohan may feel different, but as I said over the phone to Nitika, I and ONLY I 
am to blame for what I did. 

I hope this isn't the end of what I was hoping would be a good partnership. It 
is quite rare to see the top brains look at Wikipedia from our POV. Most top 
schools/colleges etc are snobs [it's a stereotype but mostly true in my 
experience] and these guys seemed genuinely interested in what was being done.


I just feel pathetic at being such a screwup. As stated earlier I have a lot to 
learn and till then I shall not volunteer for an academy/workshop. I'll merely 
be a spectator and wait till I mature into someone better. The real world is 
not so rosy as the Wiki world is.


Regards,
Srikanth.
P.S: I did manage to get a picture of the NITT gate which is now on the 
Commons. Maybe you guys could use it. It is CCBYSA ofcourse.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Tamil Wiki Media Contest

[Srikanth Lakshmanan]

 Hello All,

The contest is now closed. A total of 15217[1] (5 times our expectation[2])
files were uploaded by around 300 contributors. We are planning to announce
the results by March 25th (Yes, selecting 9 prizes out of 15,000 entries is
slightly tough task). A detailed report / statistics will be available
soon. Thanks for your support.

The fact that 300 volunteers participated in this contest in really an
exciting news. Hope the contest helped to attract many Tamil speakers to
Tamil Wiki projects.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Tamil Wiki Media Contest

[wheredevelsdare]

Many congratulations to the Tamil Community for the resounding success of this 
contest (as I understand the contributions are 5x the initial target and 
contributors are 3x the initial target). 

Sodabottle, Logic and team have worked really hard to pull this off, hats off 
to them!

The fact that 300 volunteers participated in this contest in really an exciting 
news. Hope the contest helped to attract many Tamil speakers to Tamil Wiki 
projects.
