Dear Indian Wikimedians,

Those of you in the hacker community would be aware that the 30th 
Chaos Communication Congress will be live streamed at a special event 
in a himalayan hackerspace called Ghoomakad [1] between Dec 27-30.


Since it will be unique gathering of technologists in this remote 
region, it is also an ideal opportunity to conduct a mediawiki 
hackathon/wikimedia outreach that will be able to target a culturally 
diverse group of people including the Tibetan exile community from 
Dharamshala which is 10 km away.


As one of the residents of the hackerspace and an active Wikimedian, I 
have prepared a proposal to the Chapter to provide for travel and 
accommodation scholarships to 4 Wikimedia volunteers who would like to 
lead and support a hackathon in the village. You can see the detailed 
proposal and budget breakdown here:


http://wiki.wikimedia.in/Grants/Congress_Everywhere_Mediawiki_hackathon

Since time is short, those interested to lead the hackathon or conduct 
outreach in the local schools can already apply for the travel 
scholarship now:

PS: Do note that this grant is pending approval by the Chapter EC and 
the scholarship is subject to that decision. In the meantime do share 
this with any community member you might know in the Delhi/North area. 
Queries on the proposal are also invited on the talk page of the proposal.

[Wikimediaindia-l] Wikimedians in Nagaland

[Arun Ramarathnam]

Dear Wikimedians,

I wanted to know if any of you were aware of any active Wikimedians in the
state of Nagaland (North East of India).

Do you anyone of you have any contacts?
Have any outreach programs been held there so far?

Please mail me off list if you have any contacts with Wikimedians or FOSS
folks in Nagaland.

I would also appreciate contacts into Assamese wikimedians. I do know a few
outreach programs were held there.

Would much appreciate your assistance with this request.

Happy editing

regards
Arun
