Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Wiki Academy in Goa in Dec

[Nitika Tandon]

Dear All,

This is being scheduled for 12th and 13th Dec. Time is yet to be finalised. 
Couple of points:

* Workshop will be organised in the computer lab at Goa University
* Infrastructure like the computer lab LCD projectors are available in the 
library as well a s the Academic Staff College class rooms.
* Computer lab has 25 machines and may be few lap tops can squeeze in.
* We are requesting participants to get their own laptops if possible
* Gopakumar (University librarian) will create and share a participation form 
for registration. He is also creating posters, banners and notices to market 
the event.
* I'm going to submit a request to release the library IP address from 7 
accounts creation limit.
* We're also trying to set up a meeting with museum curators and librarians 
from Goa to explore opportunities of working on a GLAM project with them.

I'll keep updating you all. Will be great to get support from as many of you as 
possible.

Kind regards,
Nitika

Hi,

Thanks, Nitika.

It might also be a good idea to ask participants to get their dongles as 
backup. 

Also, please keep us informed on the GLAM discussions, as this may be of 
interest to some of us on this list, like me. :)

[Frederick FN Noronha * फ्रेड्रिक नोरोन्या * فريدريك نورونيا]

Let me know if I could be of any help, as I'm based in Goa itself.

The announcement for the event has already been uploaded by the Univ
library staff and Dr Gopakumar to http://unigoa.ac.in/ (which is where I
saw it).

Have also shared it with Goanet, an 18-year-old volunteer network active in
Goa and its diaspora:

Sorry about the typo in the subjectline!

Good idea Pradeep. Shall do that!  :-)

In addition, GLAM meeting with State Central Library is scheduled for 13th Dec 
10.30am. Please let me know if anyone would like to join, maybe we can organise 
a Google hangout as well.

Thanks

Yes please, need a lot of help from you! :-) I'm sending you an offline note, 
maybe we could work together on how should we conduct this session, keep in 
touch with the participants post session and help them become Wikipedia 
authors.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Wiki Academy in Goa in Dec

[Vickram Crishna]

Dongles are a good idea for another reason: it avoids getting entangled
with the wikipedia security feature against admitting drone registrations.
If newbies register using their own dongles, the gate won't be flagged.

Of course, the organisers will already have applied for an exemption (and
if not, please do so asap), so it isn't a critical issue, but it is good to
have an alternate plan on standby.

Hi,

Which also makes me wonder if there are other Wikipedians not on this list? 
Might be a good idea to leave a note on WikiProject Goa.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Wiki Academy in Goa in Dec

[Frederick FN Noronha * फ्रेड्रिक नोरोन्या * فريدريك نورونيا]

Dear Nitika, Is it possible to get in touch with others who have been
contributing to the Goa pages in the past? Also, some of us have bandwidth
problems here, otherwise we would have contributed more. Is it possible to
set up a small team to continue this process, in Goa itself, after the
workshop is done?

The Central Library has a lot of space and tend to be supportive in such
work. Its Curator, Carlos Fernandes, was even supportive when Richard
Stallman of the FSF visited many years ago. They understand the importance
of creating sharable resources. At the library, you can spot some displays
of open journal websites, etc which researchers can freely access. You
could build on such synergies. FN

We have a meeting scheduled with the State Central Library on the 13th Dec at 
10.30am. We can most definitely work out a plan with them. I'm hoping you'll be 
able to join for this meeting too.

I have raised a ticket to lift IP rate limit:

the earliest.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Wiki Academy in Goa in Dec

[Nitika Tandon]

Dear All,

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank Harriet Vidyasagar and Frederick 
Noronha for helping us kick start Wikipedia activities in Goa. They have put in 
a lot of hard work in the past few weeks to organise Wikipedia events. So far 
we have 3 confirmed events between 12th Dec and 14th Dec while they are still 
working on squeezing in more events during these dates. I wanted to share 
details of these events with everyone and also invite suggestions.

Details of events
A WikiWorkshop to introduce students and a few faculty on how to edit the 
Wikipedia on12th and 13th December from 2.30 pm to 4.30 pm at Goa University, 
computer lab. The lab has 24 computers and we will have about 6 persons with 
laptops i.e a total of 30 persons. We got 60 registrations for this event but 
since the lab has limited capacity we'll only be able to accommodate first 30 
registrations. We're trying to host another academy for the remaining 30 
sometime on the 14th provided we're able to arrange for a venue. Even if no 
venue is available; we'll still try and do a small talk with these 
registrations. We definitely don't want to loose out the opportunity of 
touching base with 30 more interested people. 
We have a meeting scheduled with The Krishnadas Shama State Central Library, 
Patto, Panjim on 13th morning from 10.30 to 12.30 noon to discuss GLAM 
opportunities. 
Harriet and her team are still trying to organise the following:
Public program to create awareness on about Wikipedia and how to contribute at 
Central Library
Event at NIE where all are invited on the topic of  Wikimedia in Schools and 
Wikipedia for Teachers
Calling for participation as volunteers

Frederick is a long time Wikipedian who lives in Goa and will be available to 
provide on ground support for these meetings. I wanted to check if we can have 
2 more or at least one more volunteer from Mumbai or Pune who could come down 
to Goa for these events. CIS will be able to support train/bus travel for these 
volunteers and Goa University will take care of accommodation in their 
university guest house. Please respond at the earliest so that we can make 
arrangements accordingly.

Looking forward to hear from al of you. Thanks a ton!

Regards,
Nitika

Hey, I'd love to help out regarding this. Also being in Pune, it'll be
quite easy for me also to travel to Goa.

I'd really like to get back to the movement with as much enthusiasm I had
before. So I'd love to help out regarding this one.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Wiki Academy in Goa in Dec

[Outofindia]

Thanks Nitika

The person who deserves all the credit and has really worked to make
it possible and pull it together is Prof "Alito Siqueira" of the Goa
University.

Ref accommodation for volunteers please reconfirm with who ever you
have been talking to.
As far as I know, currently  two rooms have been booked for you and me
at the University Guest House. December is a tourist filled month in
Goa so the accommodation needs to be confirmed in advance.

If we don't have a formal venue...the steps of the Panjim church in
the city square, in the moonlight or street lights with laptops is a
great place to work. Prof. GN and I have worked there before! We have
a picture too:)

Regards

Harriet

[Wikimediaindia-l] Wiki Academy in Goa in Dec : Re: [Wikimedia-in-mum] Wikipedia Women Workshop Report

[Outofindia]

+1

A wiki Academy at Goa University was being discussed for mid December.
Nitika will take that call.

It is the height of the tourist season so we need to think through
accommodation options for out of state folk.

 Great work !!
 And a nice report too!!

 Is it possible to have some followup events for this activity. Some
 women meetup every 2-3 months will be a good way to keep everyone in
 touch and to have better interaction.

 Congrats to all the volunteers, co-ordinators and participants for a
 successful event.
 Keep up the good work!!

 A wiki Academy at Goa University was being discussed for mid December.
 Nitika will take that call.

 It is the height of the tourist season so we need to think through

Ohh,

in that case, do check with Harriet.

Harriet, you might also consider to talk to few other women's from Mumbai

Thanks!
