CIS-A2K Budget,Utilization Report and proposed revision

Vishnu t — 2013-05-06T18:24:52

Dear All,

In our effort to increase transparency with the working of CIS-A2K
programme, we are sharing with you the A2K Programme Budget along with the
Utilization for the period Sept. 2012 to February 2013 [1]. We intended to
share this with you by mid April, but it got delayed, as we felt the need
to propose revisions to the budget in the context of the A2K Work Plans.
Apologies for this delay.

The proposed revisions to the budget along with some notes are here [2]. We
would appreciate your feedback and suggestions on this. Based on the
feedback received from you, we will approach the Wikimedia Foundation
seeking for approval of the revised budget. It will be very useful to hear
from you on the proposed revisions to the A2K grant budget before May 20,
2013.

Looking forward to your feedback.

Warmly,
Vishnu

Dear all, 

Correction: There is a mistake in the newsletter in the
Events Organized section. The Creative Commons event in Bangalore was
not organized by A2K team. It was organized by members of the Wikimedia
India Chapter and A2K team members, Nitika and Subhashish attended it
and helped with documentation only. 

Apologies for the error. We are
working to fix it in the main newsletter as well. 

Thank you, 

Noopur

First Ever MediaWiki Workshop in Kolkata!

Sucheta Ghoshal — 2012-12-29T20:24:09

[Sorry, the subject part was missing on the last e-mail.]


Hello Everyone,

This is Sucheta. I am an OPW intern at MediaWiki, based in Kolkata. The
newly formed Mozilla Community of Kolkata is organizing a 2 day ( Jan 5 -
Jan 6 ) event dedicated to Free and Open Source Software and various
Mozilla initiatives, where participants will get chance to interact with
professional developers and renowned FOSS activists as well as some Mozilla
Representatives from the Mozilla India Community. And they want to have a
MediaWiki part as well and had approached me for the same. I had approached
few people from MediaWiki and checked if they could come over. But
Santhosh, Yuvi Panda, and Harsh Kothari seem to be occupied at that
specific period of time, although they are ready to help remotely. So, I am
planning to do one small workshop on MediaWiki there, with 10-15 students
maybe. It would be great to have your support, and suggestions are welcome
too.

Hey Sucheta,

It would be great if you could share the news about event with any of your
friends who might be interested or a FOSS enthusiast!

Also if you have any suggestions/ideas about what can be discussed during
the event please feel free to add to the agenda. We welcome any FOSS
related discussions as well! :-)

MozCafe Kolkata

Sayak Sarkar — 2012-12-16T05:53:25

Hi,

I'm Sayak Sarkar a Mozilla Rep originally from Kolkata, but currently based
in Pune.

I'm currently at Kolkata and was planning a MozCafe meetup with all Open
Source Enthusiasts along with all Mozilla volunteers from Kolkata and the
surrounding regions.

I know that the Kolkata chapter of the Wikipedia groups is quite active and
was wondering if you would be interested in joining us for the meetup.

You can find the link to the event's agenda here:
https://india.etherpad.mozilla.org/MozCafe-Kolkata

We currently have a very flourishing FOSS community in Pune in
collaboration with all Open-source groups there such as Wikipedia, Drupal
and Pune-LUG, and I was wondering if we can have something similar setup in
Kolkata as well.

Please do go through the link and let me know what are thoughts about it.
It would be great to have the Wikipedia Kolkata group on-board for this
meet as well.

[Also, sorry for the cross-posting, wasn't quite sure which list would be
appropriate.]

Regards,
Sayak

উইকিপিডিয়া এবং উইকিভয়েজে তথ্য উপস্থাপনের ধরনটি আলাদা। আর এই কারনেই আমি এটি
চালু করার পক্ষে। বর্তমানে স্বেচ্ছাসেবকের সংখ্যা কম, এই কম অনেকদিন থেকেই
আছে। উইকিভয়েজের বিষয় হল ভ্রমন, আর বর্তমানে ভ্রমন বিষয়ে প্রায় প্রতিটি

আমিও মনে করি আমাদের এই মূহুর্তে যথেষ্ট সংখ্যক সেচ্ছাসেবক নেই এধরণের আরও
একটি প্রকল্প শুরু করার। বাংলা উইকিপিডিয়া ছাড়া অন্য প্রকল্পগুলোতে
সেচ্ছাসেবকের সংখ্যা খুবই নগন্য। এছাড়া বাংলা উইকিপিডিয়াতেও আমাদের অনেক দূর
যেতে হবে। তাই এখন আমাদের কোর বিষয় গুলোতেই বেশি মনোযোগ দেয়া উচিৎ।
