Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Project Tiger 2.0 / GLOW

2019-08-15 Thread Tito Dutta
Hello Pavanaja,
Thanks for the question. Project Tiger 1.0 had two parts, one supporting
the Indian communities with infrastructure support. The second part was the
edit-a-thon. These two parts were not related/linked to each other.
The support recipients' list was decided by a jury. Active Wikimedians who
needed this support were eligible to apply. Over-All metrics may be seen
here.

Thanks
Tito Dutta
Note: If I don't reply to your email in 2 days, please feel free to remind
me over email or phone call.

[Wikimediaindia-l] Santhosh Thottingal wins the President's Maharshi Badrayan Vyas Samman for 2019

2019-08-15 Thread manoj k
Santhosh Thottingal

has won the Maharshi Badrayan Vyas Samman by the Hon. President of India
.
This is in recognition of his substantial contribution in the field of
Malayalam language. The award, instituted in 2016, is given to the
substantial contributions to languages such as Sanskrit, Persian, Arabi,
Pali and Classical Oriya, Classical Kannada, Classical Telugu, and
Classical Malayalam. This is given to young scholars in the age group of 30
to 45 years
.
The Presidential award carries a certificate of honor, a memento and a
one-time cash prize of Rs.1 lakh.

Santhosh is one of the most active contributors of Swathanthra Malayalam
Computing and a principal engineer in Wikipedia's language computing
department. He has designed and released several algorithms and tools that
serve computing needs in many Indian languages including Malayalam. He
heads the maintenance of a dozen or so of the popular Malayalam fonts.
Santhosh (along Kavya) designed two of these fonts, Chilanka and Manjari
.
He has contributed

tools that serve a broad range of language computing needs - input tools,
layout tools, fonts, font rendering, text to speech, translation,
localization are just a few of these areas. He has also contributed and
presented papers at several international conferences.

Dr. Rajeev R. R from the e-governance and training department of ICFOSS has
also been selected for this award along with Santhosh.

We hope this award inspires Santhosh and Rajeev to push the boundaries of
Language computing.

Hi Everyone,

First and for-most I  would like to thank CIS-A2K for the support to attend
Wikimania. I thank each and everyone who has helped me and guided me in my
Wiki activities, especially Dr. Pavanaja U. B., Dr. Vishwanath Badikana,
Dr. Kishor Kumar Rai and Bharathesh Alasandemajalu. I also thank the
members of Karavali Wikimedians and WikiWomen Mangaluru for the support and
coordination.

Thanks for the wishes☺
