*please note you are on a bcc list* Dear Friend,
Thanks to the support from well-wishers like you, our work to make Konkani Wikipedia live is progressing steadily. Konkani Wikipedia in incubation now has a core group of 10 active editors and the volunteers we have groomed are actively take lead in organizing Konkani Wikipedia outreach programmes. Recently we supported the volunteers to set up a Konkani Wikipedia stall at the 20th Yuva Mahostav 2014. See the images here https://www.facebook.com/groups/konkaniwikipedia/permalink/433256230163553/
To further grow and strengthen the Konkani Wikipedia and the associated volunteer community, we intend to recruit a Programme Associate, who will be based in Goa. CIS-A2K will groom the selected person: to do active outreach; work towards further deepening our association with institutional partners like Goa University, NIE, etc.; and support the budding volunteer community.
Here is the announcement: http://cis-india.org/jobs/vacancy-for-programme-associate-on-consultancy-basis-a2k-language-anchor-konkani
Request you to please circulate this widely and encourage those whom you think can passionately work for the growth of free and open knowledge in Konkani.
Best, Vishnu -- *T. Vishnu Vardhan* Programme Director - Access to Knowledge Centre for Internet and Society www.cis-india.org <http://cis-india.org>
