The wikimedians associated with the Newsletter know that much effort had put behind to bring out the first edition. We all are happy to see that the newsletter is well received by Wikimedians across the world. There were many obstacles faced while we were working on the first edition. But the community was able to overcome all these and bring out the first edition. There are many lessons learned during this process. Now almost 3 months had passed after we released the first edition. It is important that this initiative needs to be carried forward. In the past 2 months many people have asked me about the second edition of the Newsletter. Even though I voluntarily coordinated the various activities for the first edition, I am no longer in a position to continue that for the future editions. It is better to *form a team* *of active Indian Wikimedians* to coordinate the various activities of the Wikimedia India Newsletter. I request the help and support from different Indian language wiki communities to take this initiative forward. The idea is to* form a team with 2 or 3 active users from each language community* and coordinate the activities for the Wikimedia India Newletter. *Srikanth Lakshmanan* has informed me that he will help me to form the initial setup. Once the initial setup is formed the complete responsibility of the Newsletter rest with this Newsletter team. *Eligibility:* The only criteria that needs to be fulfilled to be part of this initiative is, * the person must be an active wikimedian* in any of the Indian language wiki community. The person needs to be part of the language community and should be able to coordinate with the respective language community to prepare content for the Newsletter. The respective language community can decide which active users can be part of the Newsletter team. Please send a mail to me (shijualexonl...@gmail.com) and Srikanth ( srik@gmail.com) so that we can take this forward. Thanks Shiju Alex -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The slideshow gadget was also news to me as well. I was not aware and hence made an account at wikimedia commons as well. Few thoughts :- a. Has anybody thought of using openid as a single sign-on option for all the varied media wiki sites ? b. I was going through (cycling through) the slideshow, was it my imagination or the slideshow makes the photograph a shade darker than without using slideshow. This is on Google Chrome 8 - GNU/Linux Debian. It also might be a browser issue but just thought will cross-check with others on the list as well.

[Wikimediaindia-l] Pune meetup on 15 January 2010 for W10 - tentative schedule, please respond everybody.
--- Elevator pitch - The tenth anniversary of Wikipedia on 15 January is a golden opportunity for the city's wikipedians to firmly place Pune on the international wikipedia map. Birdwatchers of Pune have committed to improving bird articles and an editing tutorial session has been planned for the newbies at the meet. We look forward for people to come forth to evangelise Wikipedia in schools and Colleges, to collect images of Pune for Wikimedia Commons through a photothon and to a meetup of Marathi Wikipedians which will showcase Pune as the cultural capital of Maharashtra. -- Dear friends, The Pune Wikipedia meetup plan is in the process of formalising. Wikipedians who have participated in discussions so far are Sankarshan Mukhopadhyay, Shirish Agarwal, Sudhanwa Jogalekar, Abhay Natu and supporting us online are Mahitgar and of course Bishakha and Arunram have given their full support as always. We all hope that the 10th Anniversary Wikipedia Celebrations on 15 January (Saturday) in Pune are a great success. For that, I request all people connected with any Wikimedia project in pune, whether it is English Wikipedia, Marathi Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons or any other. We hope to have some activities before that date and the final meetup on 15 January (Saturday) where we showcase those events. The venue is yet to be decided, the timing will be in the evening but exact timing yet to be decided. The wikipedia-linked events formalised to date are : * Contribution by 7th Ornithology Course of Ela Foudation and Abasaheb Garware College. This will consist of a talk to the course during one of their sessions and development of three articles of bird species hopefully to GA quality. Dr Satish Pande and Dr Anand Padhye, the course organisers and mentors have given full support. We hope that the following additional events can be formalised : * Pune photothon - Pune loves Wikimedia Commons - prior to 15 Jan. Sudhanwa is working on this with some photographic societies. * Marathi Wikipedia meetup - prior to 15 Jan. This is really important. * Some evangelising with schools/colleges. At the main meeting on 15 Jan it is tentatively planned to have the following events as of now: * Newbie editing session by Ashwin Baindur. * Uploading of the three bird articles by 7th Ornithology course. * Skype linkup with other meets (if it can be coordinated). * (During W10 Meetup on 15 Jan) - short talks on: ** overview of articles on Pune in En:WP (max five minutes). ** progress of Mr:WP (max 10 minutes) (if Mr:WP meetup has been conducted). ** on the ornithology course's bird contribution to Wikipedia (max five minutes). ** about the photothon (max five minutes) (if photothon has been conducted). * Refreshments. Wikimedia foundation is providing a small grant and some promotional material. Please come forth with your views, activities and ideas/criticisms. There is no formal chapter or official users group. These messages on various lists and anybody who participates in discussions are all there is to it. Wikipedia Meetup friends from Mumbai, and indeed wikipedians from all over the country are cordially invited. Will keep everyone posted on the latest, Ashwin Baindur ___ Wikimediaindia-l mailing list Wikimediaindia-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaindia-l

Sundar, Can't say more that we think alike so much. :) I was just setting up another page at the same time .. http://wikimedia.in/wiki/Geographical_distribution_of_Indian_Wikipedians One of main problems we saw that is that we don't know who is where to contact .. folks, Please let us know your geograpical area,username and active wikipedias so that we can get in touch with you for a local Wikimeetup or any other Wikimedia event at your city/town.
