Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Creative Commons turns 10

[Pradeep Nair]

Hi Pranav,

I think the two topics Creative Commons 10 this week and their impending visit 
to India in February, 2013 are getting mixed .  I think Shuba is referring to 
the CC 10 celebration meetups if they happen.

Could you fork a seperate thread for the February events and leave this thread 
for those interested in having meetups related to the Creative Commons 10th 
anniversary event? Thanks.

Shubha, do feel free to coreect me if I understood it wrongly.

[Pranav Curumsey]

Hi Subha,

Thank you for your note. Just to clarify, we are talking of full day
workshops when the CC Team visit India in February 2012. The 3 workshops
will have to be on different days as the CC Team intends to attend each of
them as well as Gnunify in Pune.

In addition to the above, thanks for your suggestion to hold a video chat
for Wikipedians from the rest of India, will propose that to be added to
the schedule.

[Subhashish Panigrahi]

Thanks Pradeep for the post!

Pranav, this could be great if Bengaluru, Mumbai and Delhi community have
their meetup at the same time so we could hangout and say hi to each other.
Could I also request to connect community members with the creative commons
guys so they can spend some time with the participants over a video chat?

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Creative Commons turns 10

[Pranav Curumsey]

Hi Arun,

Since you mentioned this, thought it may be a good idea to let everyone
know of something in the pipeline. A few days back the chapter was informed
of an impending visit to India by members of the Creative Commons team from
San Francisco and the EC was introduced to them.

We have exchanged a few emails and the chapter will possibly co-host some
workshops for CC in Mumbai, Bangalore and Delhi in February 2013, possibly
involving some other like-minded organisations. There is also talk of
holding a workshop during Gnunify in Pune. We are still exploring different
possible themes for these workshops.

We encourage any members of the community that may be interested in helping
organise these events to come forward and contact the chapter.

Kind Regards,
Pranav

Hi,

Creative Commons, the license that Wikipedia and its sister projects have been 
using turns 10 this year.

Their celebrations - http://10.creativecommons.org/ - last for 10 days from 
December 7 to 16. If you have a meetup in that period, perhaps we can celebrate.

 Dear all,

 It is immense pleasure for me and Naveen to announce that India has won
 officially at the photo-contest Wiki Loves Monuments internationally. Two
 of the photos from India among 3,60,000+ have made it to the top-10.



 1. Tomb of 
 Safdarjung
  from
 Delhi has received from the highest ranking by the international jury,
 as the image *wins first prize globally*. The photo plays with the
 light and gives a wonderful contrast between the darkness of the room and
 the lighted tomb, giving it a dramatic effect. The photographer is Pranav
 Singh, from Delhi.

 *Safdarjung's Tomb, a garden tomb with a marble mausoleum in New
 Delhi, India. It was built in 1754 in the late Mughal Empire style, and was
 described as "the last flicker in the lamp of Mughal architecture".*

 *Comments from Jury: **The strong light contrast between the lighted
 tomb and the darkness of the room emphasizes the monument, and gives it a
 dramatic component. The tomb is sharp and detailed, and free of visual
 distractions; with gravity and a perfect sense for the angle of view and
 light this picture presents the object - the architecture and light forming
 a stage for the tomb, focusing on the details of the stone carving. All in
 all a nicely framed and executed picture that seems to speak of the
 significance of this tomb.*

 *
 *

 2. The Taj 
 Mahal is
 no where lying behind. The winning photo from India *ranks 6th
 internationally*. The photographer is Narender Kumar, again from Delhi.

 *The Taj Mahal, is a mausoleum located in Agra, India, that was built
 under Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his favorite wife, Mumtaz
 Mahal. It is one of the most famous Indian buildings and considered a
 symbol for love world wide.*

 *Comments from Jury: **The Taj Mahal is probably one of the most
 photographed monuments in the world - and definitely in this competition.
 This particular image gives an impressive view of the silhouette, showing
 also the adjoining buildings. The complex seems to wake up, out of the
 mist. It gives context and mystery at the same time showing just a bit more
 than on most pictures.*
 *

 It's happy moment for the Indian community. Congratulations to all
 winners. Thanks to the entire Indian community and to the Wikimedia India
 Chapter for constant cooperation.
