Re: [Wikimedia-l] Starting School Activity: Possible Support and Tips

2018-02-22 Thread Srishti Sethi 
Hello Zubin,

Glad to hear your interest in starting an activity around Wikimedia
projects at your high school!

We recommend developers looking to contribute code to our projects to start
with following our New Developers guide [1]. This guide contains
information on how to choose a project, list of beginner-friendly projects
and bugs, additional resources, outreach programs, and how to contribute in
non-technical areas.

We also have documentation of a workshop [2] we ran for high school
students around Wikimedia and Google Code-in, that you might find useful.

If you have a specific request for support from us, feel free to reach out
to me personally or come and chat with our team members on IRC at
#wikimedia-devrel.

Cheers,
Srishti

Do you need some contacts of local expert wikimedians too? It's a mail from 
Singapore, right?
I can show you how to contact them on their user talk pages if you are a total 
newbie. Some of them you can find listed
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikipedians_in_Singapore
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Singapore

but they might not be updated.
Good luck,A.M.

[Wikimedia-l] Wikimedia Bangladesh celebrated International Mother Language Day in a different way!

2018-02-22 Thread Nahid Sultan 
Hi all,
Every year since 2007 we celebrate International Mother Language Day by 
standing in a public place with banners asking passersby to contribute to the 
Bangla Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects. This year, we hosted the 
gathering in 6 different cities of Bangladesh.

Details: https://wikimedia.org.bd/blog/56-21st-gathering

Best,

Nahid Sultan
