I can get this started.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Kolkata Bookfair 2014

2013-12-13 Thread Ravishankar
Jayanta,

1. Make some quick screencast tutorials about contributing to Bengali
Wikmedia projects and play them in loop.

2. Try to hire some college students part time / unemployed graduates to
man the stall. If this was not included in the grant, try to pool money
from the community. Completely running the stall with volunteers for 12
full days to meet 1000s of people can be tiresome. 1 volunteer a day to
oversee the hired people is practical.

3. Try to make some primary school level picture banners (on topics like
animals, birds) printed in Bengali and put them for sale. This is something
that you can ut together easily by collecting pictures from Commons. I have
seen lot of such educational content in English but not in Indian
languages. Ideal way would be to go to the book fair with an actual book
compiled from Bengali Wikimedia projects. May be next year you can try it.

4. Try to share the stall with FOSS friends.

Ravi
