Subject: Wikimedia Language Engineering Meetups in Pune and Bangalore
To: "Discussion list on Indian language projects of Wikimedia." <
wikimediaindia-l@lists.wikimedia.org>, "Mailing list for Wikimedians /
Wikipedians in Bangalore, India" ,

Hello all,

The Wikimedia Language Engineering team[1] invites Indic wikipedians and
people who are interested in language support for their wikiprojects for a
meetup with us. Language teams are Wikimedia community members with a
common interest (compare with SIG) to help improve, provide feedback and
help educate our language communities of readers and editors about
Wikimedia software enhancements and tools built by the langauge engineering
team. This meetup is to get a face-to-face introduction to language
technologies available on the Wikimedia websites and learn more about how
to best use these. We will be in Pune[2] on the 4th November and
Bangalore[3] on 11th November. (For a change a Bangalore Wikimeetup can be
held in a different part of city :)). Please sign up on the page, looking
forward to meeting you and working together on improving language support :)

Extremely sorry to hear this - from everything I've heard, read and seen
over the last 1.5 years, Shiju's departure will be a huge loss for the
program.

Shiju, needless to say I wish you a good transition and hope we will stay
in touch.

And of course I very much hope that someone with as much passion for indic
languages and skills in working supportively with language communities will
join the team.

Best

[Wikimediaindia-l] Quark 2013 at BITS Goa

[Anirudh Bhati]

FYI.  Those of you from Mumbai and Pune are interested in joining BITS
Goa for a techno-management fest to organize a workshop/hackathon
during their annual, please get back to me.  The institute can sponsor
bus travel and accommodation for up to 5 participants.

Dear Sir,

Hope you are having a great day.

Foremost we would like to express our gratitude for the interest that
you have shown to our proposal.

We are aware of the Hackathon that was organized by Wikimedia during
Atmos at BITS Pilani- Hyderabad. We would like to have a workshop for
2 days which can be followed by a Hackathon on the third day. This
will ensure that students learn and then get to test their skills. It
would be an added incentive to the participants if Wikimedia could
provide certificates on completion of course.

The participants of the workshop will be highly enthusiastic
undergraduate science, technology and engineering students with keen
interest in programming and development. The course content and the
format of the workshop can be something that you deem fit for the
participants with the above mentioned qualifications.

We are expecting around 150 to 200 participants for the workshop.
Hence we feel 5 volunteers will be more than sufficient enough to
conduct the workshop. If you feel otherwise please let us know.
We are willing to provide for travel expenses of the volunteers from
Mumbai, Pune and Bangalore along with their accommodation during their
stay here for Quark 2013.

We would be happy to help you with any further queries.

Thanking you in anticipation for positive response at the earliest.

Dear Dhavalbhai,

These are the events where CIS members have provided partnerships/active
support in organizing the events and not just the ones they might have
attended. This list does not include the events conducted by volunteers
where CIS members only attended the event.

Thank you,

Hi Noopur/All,

Festive greetings!

Are these events/programs carried out by CIS? Or they include the ones
organised by volunteers and attended by CIS staff as volunteers?
