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

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.
Warm regards

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!!
Regards

A Day Spent well.
The Wikipedia Women Workshop which took place on November, 4th 2012 in
Vidyalankar Institute of Technology (VIT), Wadala was indeed a
success.
The people who volunteered in organizing this workshop were Bishakha
Datta, Moksh Juneja, Karthik Nadar, Pranav Curumsey, Pradeep Mohandas,
Anshuman Fotedar, Aditi Juneja, Harriet Vidyasagar, Nikita Belavate,
Netra Parikh, Noopur Raval, Netha Hussain. All discussions and
planning done while organizing this workshop for women paid off. In
all, 70+ women participants attended the workshop.
The workshop started with a short introduction after which, wasting no
time, the women participants moved on to learning how to edit
Wikipedia which was though by the present on ground volunteers. The
participants were were divided in groups and every group had to create
a new article which wasn't already available on Wikipedia. In the
process, women interacted with the volunteers, asked question
regarding Wikipedia. Every group at least had added introduction to
the new article.
Having done with the basic editing, a general presentation on
Wikipedia was given by some of the volunteers. This was followed by
question and answers regarding the same. By this time, it was already
1.30pm, so the lunch was announced. After having lunch, the
participants got back to their seats. Pretty much everybody stayed
back post lunch. Moksh continued with teaching how to edit Wikipedia.
This time it wasn't it in groups though. References and Notability
were the main topics that were covered in this session.
Anshuman and Karthik then proceeded with teaching photo uploads on
Wikipedia. Quiz was conducted towards the end and Wikipedia-Tshirts
were given as prizes for giving right answers. Karthik, then also
showcased the winning images of Wiki Loves Momunents 2012 India. The
long day came to an end with an overwhelming response and a call for
organizing many such activities. The feedback received was positive.
The participants enjoyed the workshop.
We are thankful to everybody who made this event a great one. Thanks
to all the volunteers. Special thanks to Moksh and
