Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Wiki Academy in Goa in Dec
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.

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.
