Conference Hall, Goa University, Taleigao An initiative by the Goa University in collaboration with The Centre for Internet and Society Access to Knowledge. Please consider this as a personal invitation. Come join hands in the campaign to promote free accesst o knowledge in one’s mother tongue – Konkani. This is an initiative taken by the Goa University towards sharing and preserving knowledge in the Konkani language. Goa University has generously approved the re-release of the Konkani Vishwakosh (encyclopedia) under the Creative Comons License (CC-BY-SA-3.0) to make it freely available to the public and thus preserve the Konkani language and culture in the digital era. This encyclopedia will also serve as the main source of building and writing articles on the Konkani Wikipedia. This is a major step towards showcasing the Konkani community and language on a global platform such as the Konkani Wikipedia. NOTE FROM FN: The above is an invite which Nitika Tandon requested to share. In view of the concerns that other scripts (Roman, Kannada among others) should not be excluded from this project, I have suggested that copyright-expired dictionaries in those scripts, for a start, could likewise be digitized, shared and updated as some parallel project. Please send in your views and comments on this issue to Nitika Tandon < nit...@cis-india.org>, Sunil Abraham <su...@cis-india.org>, Hariett Vidyasagar outofin...@gmail.com and vis...@cis-india.org -- FN Land +91-832-240-9490 Cell +91-982-212-2436 f...@goa-india.org
