== Support details ==
=== Support type ===
'' What type of support you need''
* Chromebook
* (Using JIO mobile, so no need to get internet connectivity)

=== Reason ===
''Why do you need this support (Internet and/or Chromebook)''
* While Travelling Chromebook is better to carry anywhere
* It uses up less battery
* Instead of using text editor like notepad to write article, normally I can use google docs here in Chromebook, while happening a sudden shutdown I had lost a lots of article.

''Do you have a working laptop?''

<nowiki>#</nowiki>No, had a desktop computer, the motherboard had some problem and it got damaged.

''Had you received the support in the first iteration of Project Tiger? ''

<nowiki>#</nowiki>No

=== Future activities ===
How will you use this in the next six months?
# As usual doing the edits smoothly from Chromebook, While travelling also I can do edits
# Need to convert most of the folk related articles like cultural activities, casts etc from malayalam to english
# Wish to complete the Map Project work of the Districts, panchayaths, places of Kerala in SVG mode

# Although I am not completely convinced of the need for a group for Keralites living abroad, I am generally in favor of any move towards increasing the growth of Malayalam community. We need to do outreach among the Malayalam speaking diaspora, especially in the Middle East, and I hope that this usergroup will actively do so. Since there are no usergroups for Malayalam at least yet, I support the creation of this group. --[[User:Netha Hussain|Netha Hussain]] ([[User talk:Netha Hussain|talk]]) 11:37, 28 August 2018 (UTC)

Supporting Indian Language Wikipedias Program/Support/Laptops

2018-03-31T15:34:24Z

Ovmanjusha: /* Laptop recipients */

List of recipients for Laptops under the [[Supporting Indian Language Wikipedias Program/Support|Supporting Indian Language Wikipedias program]] are listed below.

== Selection process ==
* A total of 271 applications were received requesting a laptop, internet stipend or both.
* All applications (including drafts) with 100+ global edits and at least one endorsement were considered eligible to be reviewed.
* The selection principle was to look at '''Activity (edits)''' followed by '''Trust (endorsements)''' and decide based on one's '''Need''' for the support. This meant that '''people who had no (contributing from a mobile) or only limited access (contributing from office) to a system were given priority over others''' who needed an additional/better laptop for various needs. Therefore, please do not consider this as a judgment on how good a contributor you are if your application was not selected. It simply means someone else needed it more than you and we had only limited number of laptops. Whenever required, we also reached out to community members to confirm the need to make sure that users who could not provide all details through the application were not disadvantaged.
* 2 laptops were reserved for each language community and the remaining laptops were allotted under an open pool.
* Applicant's need was assessed only in comparison with others applying from the same language community to set fair benchmarks.
* Some applicants who had a need for an advanced laptop (example: to run a software) were not selected because the available laptops (basic Chromebooks) are not suitable to fulfill their needs.
* Selection was done by a community review team comprising of [[User:Yohannvt]], [[User:Manavpreet Kaur]], and [[User:Dsvyas]]. Special thanks to [[User:Viswaprabha]] for the technical support offered to collect information from the submitted applications.

== Stats ==
* 50 Wikimedians will receive laptops. 45 among them have 1000+ edits.
* They belong to 16 different Indian language Wikipedia communities.
* 11 among them are females (22% of recipients).

== Support ==
A basic model Chromebook will be given as one-time support. The recipients can keep them forever without returning it to CIS-A2K or fellow community members. This support is offered assuming good faith in order to empower each recipient's contribution to the best of his/her ability. We encourage fellow community members to welcome them as usual.

Each recipient will be contacted through their talk pages and contact email address given on the application form. We plan to disperse the laptops before the end of March 2018. Please contact tito at cis-india.org or tanveer at cis-india.org if you need clarification or leave a message in the talk page.

I also regularly help the community by way of designing, coordinating and arranging supply of posters, graphics, brochures, logos etc for any Wikimedia-related events.

==Your contribution==
''Please tell us which existing Wikimedia projects (Wikipedia, Commons, etc.) and language versions you are contributing to, and some of your best contribution towards the project and movement. Please add relevant Wiki/external link wherever applicable''
* I have been contributing to wikipedia since 2011. I am a malayalam wikipedian. i has contributed wikipedia and wikidata. My contributions can be seen in other wikimedia projects such as English wikipedia, wikicommons, Malayalam Wikisource, etc.
* I have created more than [https://xtools.wmflabs.org/pages?project=ml.wikipedia.org&username=Arjunkmohan&namespace=0&redirects=noredirects 300 articles] ([https://xtools.wmflabs.org/pages/ml.wikipedia.org/Arjunkmohan/all total 2900+ pages]) in Malayalam Wikipedia and [https://xtools.wmflabs.org/pages/en.wikipedia.org/Arjunkmohan/all 10 articles] in English Wikipedia.
* 26,700+ edits in Malayalam Wikipedia, 7,500+ edits in Wikidata and 35,000+ edits in global. ([https://xtools.wmflabs.org/ec/ml.wikipedia.org/Arjunkmohan Edit counter]). Majority of my edits upto this moment are created from a Mobile Phone.
* I have participated in many editathons such as Wikipedia Asian Months, UNESCO Challenge, Wikipedia Thousand wiki lights etc in Malayalam Wikipedia, Wiki Loves Monuments in Wikicommons (links : [[TWL]], [[W:UNESCO2017]], [[W:WAM2016]]) and created many articles and edits.

=== Support type ===
'' What type of support you need''
* Laptop
* Internet

=== Reason ===
''Why do you need this support (Internet and/or laptop)''

I have been using a Netbook to edit Wikipedia since 2011 (account creation). Due to the breakdown of the device, most of my Wikipedia editing is now done through a Mobile Phone with limited Internet facility for the last 2 years. It is very difficult to utilize my editing skills with a mobile phone. If I get a laptop/computer with good Internet Connection, I can contribute more to Wikipedia.

=== Future activities ===
How will you use this in the next six months?
* I will create more articles and more edits.
* I will contribute more to wikidata.
* I shall continue to participate in editathons.
* I will conrtibute more to wikicommons.

=== Reason ===
''Why do you need this support (Internet and/or laptop)''

I am a housewife staying in bangalore and an active contributor in Malayalam Wikipedia and other projects like wikidata and participated many workshops all over Kerala and Bangalore. I was using husband's office laptop for the contribution, two years. I was using that freely before as he was not using his laptop. He was under treatment for two years due to an accident. Before that, I was using my laptop which is spoiled by my child. Nowadays I am not getting it freely for the wiki contributions, because he came back to his normal work.

#I can contribute more articles in Wikipedia. At present female participants are very less in Malayalam Wikipedia. I hope I can bring at least one female contributor with in six months.
#I am trying to bring more details about different local places in Kerala to the Wikipedia. And I tried it by doing 100wikidays. In that [[w:ml:User:Ovmanjusha#%E0%B4%A8%E0%B5%82%E0%B4%B1%E0%B5%81_%E0%B4%B5%E0%B4%BF%E0%B4%95%E0%B5%8D%E0%B4%95%E0%B4%BF_%E0%B4%A6%E0%B4%BF%E0%B4%A8%E0%B4%99%E0%B5%8D%E0%B4%99%E0%B5%BE_(100wikidays)| editathon I have contributed 100 villages in Kerala]].
#My native place (In [[w:en:Kasaragod_district|Kasaragod]] District of Kerala) is a village area where we have many folk festivals like [[w:en:Alamikkali|Alamikkali]], [[w:en:Yakshagana|Yakshaganam]], [[w:en:Theyyam|Theyyam]], etc, they are the combination of the two states cultures (Kerala and Karnataka). I would like to bring all those in Wikipedia with proper references itself before vanishing away from the society. I think content about old traditions, culture, agricultural practices in villages are very useful to the Wikipedia.

Ovmanjusha: /* Plans for Malayalam Community */

{{Talk}}

== Plans for Malayalam Community ==

It's my earnest and polite opinion that CIS-A2K should consider more involvement and engagement with the Malayalam community. For the last few years, Malayalam seems to be not looked upon as a community that needs particular care and attention from the A2K's perspective. While thanking immensely for the timely financial aids provided for the one or two events per year, personally, I feel there is a broader scope for A2K's pro-active initiatives to motivate and sustain the activities in Malayalam communities of Wikipedia, Wikisource and Wikimedia Commons. An example case is to plan up Mini TTTs and MWTs within Kerala, focusing particularly for Malayalam volunteers. At present, any event in ML is initiated and conducted by the community members themselves with no persuasion or pro-active encouragement from CIS-A2K. This often becomes difficult as the community members have to spare more time and efforts in planning, executing and reporting than the real core duties they could perform such as resource contribution and content management.

A2K can also act as an interconnecting facilitator between ML, TA, KN, SA and other neighborhood communities and the EN community within Kerala itself. At present, these connections are almost non-existent. There is ample opportunities for inter-lingual collaborations and exponentially higher potential for combined content enrichment and interface design improvement among these communities.

'''Wikisangamotsavam-2016''', the fifth annual gathering of users and well wishers of Malayalam Wikimedia projects, will take place from '''26,27,28 December, 2016 in [[w:en:Kanjangad|Kanjangad]],[[w:en:Kasargod|Kasargod]] [[w:en:Kerala|Kerala]].''' Updates can also be seen on Facebook [http://www.facebook.com/MalayalamWikipedia here].

[[Category:WikiSangamotsavam]]

The annual meetup of malayalam wikipedia well wishers and users Wikisangamolsavam-2016 was conducted from Kanhangad, Kasargod from Padnekkad Good Sheperd Church auditorium on December 26, 27, 28 with various programmes. Wikipedia is a free online encyclopedia. Wikipedia is accessible in 295 different languages. English Wikipedia with above fifty lakh articles scored highest. Malayalam Wikipedia begin its journey in 2012 and currently giving an indispensable contribution to the educational zone. IT@school tuitor Vijayan Rajapuram and few teachers made a very good effort for conducting the Wikisangamotsavam-2016. In the initial stage Vijayakumar Blathur, Sachil Lal and Sajal Karikkan also gave good assistance. The session wind up with an expectation of arround fifteen new active wikipedians.

An estimated overview of the Wikisangamotsavam is given below.

==A General Evaluation==
The Sangamotsavam was conducted with some specifc aim. Kasargod district is the border of Kerala and Karnataka. So there are various folk arts and cultures which they follow. More than seven different languages are used by people and Kasargod is a district with most of the village name comes in thulu and kannada. Information related to these villages were either not updated or incomplete in wikipedia. The main objective of Sangaotsavam was to find skilled writers. Around fifteen members registered their names including teachers and students. We have not invited anyone of them. If they are active in editing for atleast six monhs, we can conclude that the sangamotsavam was successful. By providing learning camps we will be able to inspire new users. Another decision was to conduct the Wikipedia meetups as a public programme so that it will reach the publics easily. We were able to provide classes related to Kasargod district during this programme.

==Technological Empowerment of Disabled==
The first day of Sangamotsavam, 26th started with the class of Sathyasheelan Master on the topic 'Technological Empowerment of Disabled'. He explained how to survive blindness and participate in wikipedia. His class was a wonderful experience for all because he explained very well about wikipedia works with examples even if he is fully blind. He introduced some softwares for disabled and explained how to type Malayalam, English and Hindi for blinds as well as to find spelling mistakes commited. He also explained how to listen a wikipedia article those who cannot read it.

==Freedom of Knowledge==

Next was the class by M A Rahman Master on the topic Freedom of Knowledge. Its all about thinking of free knowledge and features of media that distribute knowledge. He explained about the present condition of the society and environment, where individuals have deep knowledge and libraries with them but not ready to publish.

==Open Street Mapping==
Next topic was about the possibility of open street maping which is also famous as encyclopedia like wikimedia projects. This class helped the users to think how open street maping can be used in wikipedia. Mr. Ranjith explained this can be used in wiki voyege, another wikimedia product and we have to make an effort for that.

==School Wiki Project==
Next was the class about school wiki by Shabhareesh Master. He explained about evaluating the possibility of wikipedia as well as school wiki. The articles in school wiiki are to be increased and information about all schools should be widely expanded. He spoke about the requirement of a media to publish the arts work of students like poems, stories, colash, drawings etc. As the softwere of wiki project and school wiki is media wiki, learning of editing will be useful for wikipedia in future. He concluded the discussion reveling Malayalam Wikipedia users should assist the teachers who works for IT@ school, when ever requirement arise and it is essential to have a cooperation between school wiki and wikipedia for better acheivements.

==Main Session==

The main session started on 27th tuesday morning 10 am at the presence of Kanganhad corporation chairman Mr. V V Rameshan and Kasargod Loksabha representative Mr. M P Karunakaran. Mr M P Karunakaran formally inaugrated the function. CIS representatives Manasa from Chennai and Ting Yi from Thai wan also arrived for the function. Both Manasa & Ting- Yi was there for the function still the final day.Malayalam Wikipedia started in 2002 December 21st. We celebrated the birthday of Wikipedia by cutting cake and distritributed among the members. Celebration started by Mr. M P Karunakaran by cuting the cake and gave to Aatmika, youngest representative of Sangamotsavam.

==Malayalam Wikipedia Activities, Last One Year==

Here we discussed about the past one year's wikipedia activities and future programmes and reporting. We have shared the observations and done the documentation. Each and every users participated in this equally. This was very useful for new users. Then we discussed about the last year Sangamotsavam's report in which some errors occured in cost. That affected badly on this year's CIS support. All users perception was, it is good to think this will be the last Sangamotsavam of Malayalam Wikipedia.

==Delegacy of Ancient Animals in Wikipedia==

This topic was presented by the Wikipedia user Irvin. It was such an amazing presentation which include a photo exhibition. It includes the name of dinosers, discription and Wikipedia link.These posters were availablein Wikipedia Commons. N number of subject based questions arised from the audience shows how excellent the presentation was. Irvin duly answered for all those. This class was informative as well as attracted the new users to Wikipedia.

==Wishes by MR. Anwar Sadath==

Next programme was a video speech by Mr Anwar Sadath, a science writer and Executive Director of IT@ school. He explained about the working of Malayalam Wikipedia and school wiki jointly and sharing fredom of knowledge. A small portion of discussion was about the activities of IT@school.

==A Presentation on Mozilla==

Team from Mozilla gave a very good class. They conducted a question answer session in which first prize attained by Ranjith Siji and second by Achu Kulangara. They affixed a stand and banner on the stage.

==An explanation on Mangalam Kali==

Afterwards a class was conducted by Mr. Ramachandran Master about Mangalam Kali a traditional folk art of Kasargod. It was the main part of marriage celebration of tribal people. It is played in the middle of marriage pandal arround a piller. Elder people will be present at the occasion. Maximum number of participants in Mangalam kali willbe thirty. He explained Kasargod district is the base of many such folk arts. Many of them left their historical residues and become a competitive item in stages now a days. So this will reduce clarity of Mangalam Kali too. A video presentation of Mangalam Kali was given by Ramachandran master. It was a great experience for outsiders.

==An unwritten History of Kasargod==

Next was a class given by Prof. Balan on the topic, 'An unwritten history of Kasargod'. He explained about the unknown history of Kasargod on the basis of certain Historical Myths with enough reference. He also explained about the books related to this and available place. As well as the difference between the books for which one or two editions published. He discribed briefly about some Theyyams (Folk art) like Mukri theyyam which introduce unity of religions and some other islam theyyams and present existance of Alamikkali (another folk art). He noticed some Wikipedia users talk in between the class that made him feel like annoying so that he revealed it immedietely. The discussion was about an attempt to bunk from the class. Among the audience active wikipedians are less .

==Boat Trip==

27th evening it was time for breakup. 28th we have conducted a boat trip like photo walk. It was mainly for uploading photos in commons. Trip started from Nileshwar and destination was Valiyaparamba. Photo shoot was done on first two days from various places. Catogory for upoading these photos has been shared with everyone. It is Wikisangamotsavam - 2016 and Wikisangamotsavam.

== Bengali Wikipedia stall at Behala Book Fair, Kolkata ==

The Bengali Wikipedia community has decided to have a stall for outreach activities at the Greater Behala Book Fair in Kolkata scheduled to be held between 4 - 13 December 2015. The Bengali Wikipedia community has the previous experience of successful participation at the Kolkata Book Fair in 2014. However, because of the huge expense in renting a stall, the community has decided not to participate at the Kolkata Book Fair in near future. On the other hand the participation cost at book fairs held at the various regions of the city is quite affordable and the footfall at the fair is also considerable. Behala being a region, lesser cosmopolitan in comparison to other parts of the city, the Bengali Wikipedia community is targeting a focused Bengali-speaking audience for the event.

The details of the event are given below.

* '''Date:''' 4 - 13 December 2015, 2 - 8 pm
* '''Venue:''' Behala Blind School ground

=== Discussion ===
Thanks for letting us know about this event. :) Generally we expect to be informed at least 3-4 weeks before the event. I have a few questions:
# Have you created any event page on Bengali Wikipedia?
# According to you, how is this event going to help Bengali Wikipedia/Wikipedians/Bengali event? and the most important:
# Could you tell us about your plans in details -- what are you planning to do in this bookfair, such as, demonstrating Bengali Wikipedia, bringing new editors etc? Thanks. {{Smiley}} --[[User:Titodutta|Tito]]☸[[User talk:Titodutta|Dutta]] 22:13, 4 December 2015 (UTC)

:Thank you for your reply. :) I apologize for the late application for the grant. However, let me assure you that this is not a decision that we have taken in haste. We have been discussing about this event in email from the first week of November and we had booked the stall on 19 November. But because of our busy personal schedules, there has been some unnecessary delay. Please see the answer to your questions below.
:# We have created it now. Please refer to [https://bn.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%A6%89%E0%A6%87%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%AA%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%A1%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BC%E0%A6%BE:%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%A8/%E0%A6%AC%E0%A7%83%E0%A6%B9%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A6%B0_%E0%A6%AC%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%B9%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%BE_%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%87%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%BE].
:# It will be an outreach program for the Bengali Wikipedia, Bengali Wikisource, Bengali Wiktionary and the GLAM initiatives. In this kind of book fair we'll get mostly Bengali speaking audience unlike the Kolkata Book Fair which is more cosmopolitan in nature. So there is a better chance of bringing in contributors to the Bengali language Wikimedia projects. Like the Kolkata Book Fair event of 2014, we are expecting an increase in the no. of users in the Bengali Wikipedia through this event. Last but not the least, we'll get more leads regarding GLAM initiatives in Kolkata. We've already had this experience in a WikiAcademy this year and we are hopeful of getting quality leads for GLAM initiatives.
:# The basic plan is to demonstrate the Bengali Wikipedia. We'll have laptops and Internet connection at the stall and the volunteers present will provide hands on demo to the visitors. Apart from that, we are also selling the visitors a small booklet on how to edit Bengali Wikipedia. We are also planning to have some copies of the book by Bangladeshi Wikipedia N Hasive.

:::[[User:Titodutta|Tito]], even though we made the grant request for participation in the Greater Behala Book Fair, we have plans to participate in similar local book fairs around Kolkata. We are currently in talks with the organizers of Jadavpur Book Fair and we are internally discussing the possibility of participating in Dum Dum Book Fair. And of course, we would like to participate in the Greater Behala Book Fair in the next year. We'll document our plan and share you the link as soon as possible.

== Bengali Wikipedia stall at DumDum Book Fair 2016, Kolkata ==

After the successful enterprise of active participation in '''Greater Behala Book Fair''' in Kolkata held from 4th to 13th December 2015, the Bengali Wikipedia community has decided to take part in another prestigious and largely frequented book fair namely the '''DumDum Book Fair 2016'''. The fair will be held from 1st to 10th January, at the heart of very thickly populated South DumDum area.

DumDum Book Fair shall be a very prospective venue for us as it is a densely populated area inhabited by a vast majority of Bengali speaking people. The proximity of DumDum Junction Railway and DumDum Metro Station, B.T. Road and Jessore Road makes DumDum easily accessible to people of nearby districts by various means of transport.

We have hired a stall in the said book fair for outreach activities for projects like Bengali Wikipedia, Bengali Wikisource, Bengali Wikitionary, Wikimedia Commons and specially the GLAM. We are targeting prospective contributors and resourceful people with whom we can collaborate in near future with the aim of enriching the content of the Bengali Wikimedia and its sister projects.

The details of the event are given below:

* '''Date''': 1st to 10th January 2016
* '''Time''': 3pm-9pm
* '''Venue''': Indira Maidan, DumDum Road

==Publication of Samskrit wiki Handbook==

'''About the Handbook:'''

Samskrit Wiki community is planning to develop a handbook of about 24 pages. This book will give an introduction to Samskrit Wikimedia projects and also helps in learning basic Samskrit.
This hand book would not only be a gateway for the wonderful world of Wikipedia to the new entrants but also will be a ready guide for the user and encourage him /her to converse in Sanskrit easily.

Samskrita Bharati is regularly conducting Samskrit Sambhashana Shibirams (Workshops for improving conversational skills in Sanskrit) throughout India and abroad since 1981. The response to these shibirams have been excellent. It is therefore our earnest desire to go forward and facilitate a larger number of people to learn more about wikiprojects by freely distributing these booklets.

'''Request to CIS:'''

The Samskrit Wikipedia community requests the CIS to Kindly approve the above proposal.

::''' Who are the target-audience of this handbook?''' 
::We would like to distribute these handbooks to all the participants of 10 day spoken Samskrit classes. Samskrita Bharati conducts these classes all over the country and abroad. Usually 2000 such classes are conducted in each month. An average of 30 people take part in each class. Samskrita Bharati has planned to conduct State level conferences all over the country in the month of January and February'16. Therefore, we are planning to send the booklets to all the state conferences so that it will be distributed to all the participants of spoken Samskrit classes. 

::'''Are they going to join Wikipedia as editors?''' 
::First, we would like to concentrate on increasing the readership of sa_Wikipedia. As the readership increases, so would be number of editors and through them the number of articles and contributions. This would be a continuous process. 
::''' How is your Handbook going to be different from other Sanskrit tutorials available on world wide web?''' 
::Samskrita Bharati is teaching Samskrit in an innovative way through speak Samskrit classes where people would learn the language through conversation. Other Samskrit tutorials concentrate more on grammatical aspects. This hand book will contain basics of Samskrit learning. 
::''' How is this initiative going to help Wikipedia Sanskrit or Wikimedia movement?''' 
::Those who attend these conversation classes will get introduced to sa_wiki projects through this hand book. Since they are very enthusiastic in learning Samskrit they willingly visit wiki pages. This will lead them to join wikimedia movement.--[[User:Sayant Mahato|Sayant Mahato]] ([[User talk:Sayant Mahato|talk]]) 10:51, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

*Would it be possible for you to print this book in two or more additions? I know that this is a small and inexpensive book, but still, it is likely to be in circulation for a long time and I wish for it to give the best information. What is your publication plan? Could you do something like print and get feedback on 10,000 copies before printing the other 90,000? I worry about the reputation of Wikipedia and not at all about the cost.
:Also - can you post the book online before you publish it?
:Why is there no budget here for the design of the book? With a commitment to so many copies and the likelihood that some people will keep these copies for years I would want them to look good. [[User:Bluerasberry|''' Blue Rasberry ''']][[User talk:Bluerasberry|(talk)]] 12:17, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
::We have already stated that the hand book would be distributed to the participants of Spoken Samskrit camps. On an average 2000 such camps are conducted throughout India in a month and the average level of participation is 30 in each camp. During January/February 2016 every state conducts Annual Conference where all the Volunteers assemble. The handbooks would be distributed to the participants of camps.Therefore within a period of 3 months the entire stock of 1 Lakh copies would get distributed.--[[User:Sayant Mahato|Sayant Mahato]] ([[User talk:Sayant Mahato|talk]]) 11:01, 15 December 2015 (UTC)
:* We agree with [[User:Bluerasberry]]. Please
:# Discuss the design and content of the handbook with experts.
:# After finishing the draft ask for community feedback, here you may upload the handbook on Wikimedia Commons.
:# We feel, all 100,000 copies should not be printed immediately. Perhaps 5000 or 10000 copies at a time might be better. --[[User:Titodutta|Tito]]☸[[User talk:Titodutta|Dutta]] 08:43, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
::::The design and the contents of the hand book would be discussed with experts and would be posted online for review . The budget for the design is included in the estimate.

::::we have discussed with the concerned persons about the institutional collaboration which is very much required for the distribution of these handbooks and they have readily agreed to cooperate in this regard. Please let us know what CIS thinks about the number of copies to be published.--[[User:Sayant Mahato|Sayant Mahato]] ([[User talk:Sayant Mahato|talk]]) 11:30, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

==Shooting sa. Video Lessons - Technical assistance required==
In order to increase the level of contribution of articles in Sanskrit Wikipedia and sharpen the editing skills, we propose to make available video lessons to sa. Wikipedia cub editors. We understand similar video lessons are available in Hindi and Kannada language Wikipedia. We seek the invaluable assistance of CIS professionals to help Samskrit Wikipedia to shoot the video lessons, for which scripts, (similar to Hindi and Kannada wikipedia lessons ) are ready.

==Grant request for Malayalam Wikimedia Anniversary Outreach program (Wikisangamotsavam 2015)==

Malayalam Wikimedia community has come together once again to celebrate the annual outreach program for the popularization of the Wikimedia projects among general public. It is also an opportunity for the active and dormant volunteers to meet up and exchange ideas and strategies to further motivate among themselves. Due to various unexpected engagements of the active contributors and leads, the program has been planned and scheduled on a fast track mode.

This event, the 4th of its kind in magnitude and style, is scheduled to take place on 19th and 20th of December, adjoining to the actual anniversary of Malayalam Wikipedia's birth (22nd December 2002). After Kollam, Alappuzha and Kannur, this year it is happening in the historic city of Kozhikode, North Kerala. The details of the program can be seen at the event page created within [http://ml.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:WS2015 Malayalam Wikipedia].

Being the most significant yearly event of Malayalam Wikimedia community, we require assistance from the A2K by way of all possible means. The detailed estimate and budget for the program is shown as following.

On behalf of the Malayalam Community, we request you to fund this requirement at the earliest.

=== Program Leads===
1. [[user:adarshkpillai|Adarsh V.K.]] has been chosen as the convener of the event. He is an engineer-turned industrial finance consultant, now stationed at Kozhikode (Calicut). Besides being an ardent Wikipedia outreach spokesman since many years, he is also a popular writer with many books published on technology, entrepreneurship and renewable energy systems. He is regularly seen and heard on the Malayalam broadcast media as a valuable subject matter expert on these fields.

2. Dinesh Kumar, is a senior faculty of the college where the event is taking place. His enthusiasm for open knowledge and for use of digital resources for education together with his strong relations with the staff, students and other associates of the college will turn out to be a great advantage to the success of this program.

We have also formed an organizational committee to be responsible and to delegate the various functions and features of the program. The committee has opened up a bank account particularly for the event. Details of the bank account will be intimated to your office via a private e-mail message by the Chairman / treasurer.

===Discussion===
* First of all, good wishes for the event and thanks for letting us know. I am forwarding this request to our team and will keep you informed. --[[User:Titodutta|Tito]]☸[[User talk:Titodutta|Dutta]] 09:17, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
Hello, this is a significantly large request that takes more time from A2K and generally, at CIS-A2K, we take four weeks to discuss the funding request within the team for such high amount of fund. This request came really late where we do understand the internal community problems you might have faced. We might not be able to fund this request because of the late request. But we also have certain concerns:
* Could you tell us expected outputs of this event?
* How many active editors from Malayalam and other Indian Wikipedia communities you expect to join?
* Are you going to bring new editors on board?
* Are you going to upload photos on Wikimedia Commons?
* How does it fit with [https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Movement_Strategic_Plan_Summary Wikimedia's strategic priorities]?
* Could you tell us about the pre-events you have planned? --[[User:Titodutta|Tito]]☸[[User talk:Titodutta|Dutta]] 09:44, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

Dear [[User:Titodutta|Tito]],

At the outset, let us, Malayalam Wikimedians en mass, thank you for the prompt and kind queries. While it is admitted that a grant request was made much too late, we could solicit and gather among ourselves only during the last few weeks. Nevertheless, we are very optimistic that CIS would and will help us run this event successfully as you have always been very considerate and sympathetic towards our programs.
:On behalf of the team, I would attempt to answer your concerns:
====Expected outputs====
*As you may have observed from the statistics and logs, the activity and growth within of Malayalam Wikimedia projects, have been slowly deteriorating for some time now, although not as disastrous as it could have, despite the many technological and digital infrastructural challenges faced by Wikimedia environment like everywhere else. The current set of active volunteers in ml WM projects have determined that the mission could be helped with a boosted motivation and energy by conducting yet another edition of WikisangamOtsavam (WS) this year, as we have been doing since last four years.

*The WS-2015 event is targeted towards re-establishing the erstwhile great team of Malayalam Wikipedian volunteers by calling onto each one among them and re-emerge as a sustainable force again. Besides gathering those dormant and semi-active editors, the event is also looking forward to introduce Wikipedia to a new set of potential editors and readers, particularly with a strong focus on the local region of Kozhikode and other Northern districts of Kerala. With the suitable digital ecology currently available at the region, we are hopeful of transforming a significant number of newly emerging rural and urban users of Kozhikode district including School and college students, teachers, library personnel and others.

:[Under the leadership of the young and popular District Collector N. Prasanth whose personal drive has initiated several novel projects, '''[[w:Operation Sulaimani]]''' one among them ( '''[http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/kozhikode/Operation-Sulaimani-Aim-to-feed-needy-in-Kozhikode-hotels/articleshow/47684573.cms]''', Kozhikode has been in regular news and media lime light recently for the digital interaction between its administration and citizens. The Collector, with support from many eminent personalities of the city, have been corroborating about a new concept '''"Kozhipedia"''' [http://english.mathrubhumi.com/news/kerala/-kozhipedia-a-new-initiative-by-kozhikode-collector-english-news-1.601016], a citizen forum structured along the Mediawiki culture. This initiative is already gaining fast momentum among the public. For the Wikimedia community and Kozhipedia project, this is the optimal occasion and opportunity to work together to ensure sure and precise pinnacle of success.]

*During and immediately after the event, we expect to increase the active editor count by at least 100, apart from rejuvenating all our dormant editors. This figure could be anything higher if the program could make it to local news headlines and social networks as a viral propagation.

*Besides the active editor count, the event is also a meeting point for the aspiring agents for many digitization projects currently emerging within Malayalam and Kerala circles. These include both public and institutional libraries, museums, academies and press archives. At present, these efforts are not coherent enough. Lack of a symbiotic collaboration among them have been resulting in redundant technical and logistic efforts. We plan to bring together and share all available technical and administrative know-how among us, the Wikimedia community spearheading the task.

*We are also hoping to form an umbrella organization among such partners with WM community taking a lead roll in guidance and programming.
*The online version of a news article already published by the leading Malayalam daily Manorama can be seen [http://www.manoramaonline.com/technology/technology-news/wiki-malayalam-turns-14.html here].

====Editor count====
*The event is designed to call in at least 30 active editors from other parts of Kerala and another 30 active or dormant editors from Kozhikode region itself. Besides this, another 100 participants will be attending the two day event, of whom a large percentage is expected to become new editors.
====New editors====
*As we have learnt from similar programmes before, we can earnestly anticipate a surge in the new editor count during, just before and after the event. This characteristic is the output of the media news and exposure of the Wikisangamotsavam event itself and the associated fresh awareness about Wikipedia among the common public.

*Certainly, there will be a large count of photographs and other media that will be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. Specific sessions are being held to guide attendees on how to upload photos to Commons, how to identify, define or transfer copyrights and how to embed such media into WP articles. In addition, there is going to be at least one photo-expedition in and around Kozhikode city with special attention on its history, heritage and culture.
====Pre-conference events====
* There has already been two preparatory events that took place in Kozhikode, one in September at [https://ml.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%B4%B5%E0%B4%BF%E0%B4%95%E0%B5%8D%E0%B4%95%E0%B4%BF%E0%B4%AA%E0%B5%80%E0%B4%A1%E0%B4%BF%E0%B4%AF:%E0%B4%AA%E0%B4%A0%E0%B4%A8%E0%B4%B6%E0%B4%BF%E0%B4%AC%E0%B4%BF%E0%B4%B0%E0%B4%82/%E0%B4%95%E0%B5%8B%E0%B4%B4%E0%B4%BF%E0%B4%95%E0%B5%8D%E0%B4%95%E0%B5%8B%E0%B4%9F%E0%B5%8D_2 Farook College] and other in December at [https://ml.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%B4%B5%E0%B4%BF%E0%B4%95%E0%B5%8D%E0%B4%95%E0%B4%BF%E0%B4%AA%E0%B5%80%E0%B4%A1%E0%B4%BF%E0%B4%AF:%E0%B4%AA%E0%B4%A0%E0%B4%A8%E0%B4%B6%E0%B4%BF%E0%B4%AC%E0%B4%BF%E0%B4%B0%E0%B4%82/%E0%B4%95%E0%B5%8B%E0%B4%B4%E0%B4%BF%E0%B4%95%E0%B5%8D%E0%B4%95%E0%B5%8B%E0%B4%9F%E0%B5%8D_3 College of Applied Sciences].

=== Response from CIS-A2K ===
Thanks for this request. Because of paucity of time [[CIS-A2K/Team|A2K]] won't be able to support this request. If you want A2K team can help you apply for PEG. --[[User:Titodutta|Tito]]☸[[User talk:Titodutta|Dutta]] 05:46, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

Hello, 
As we informed you earlier, we expect to be informed at least 3-4 weeks prior to an event, otherwise it becomes very very difficult for us to complete the entire process of discussing, reviewing, providing suggestion(s) and attending the request.

This is relatively a larger request in comparison to the other requests we receive on this request page, so initially we were unsure whether we would be ale to do anything here in a short notice. On the other hand we understood that this was going to be important for your community, so we have tried to work very hard and thanks for your active participation as well. {{Smiley}}

I want to inform you that the A2K team will be providing both the Wikisangamotsavam 2015 and the Swag materials supports.

Please note, reporting and documentation is a very important part of an event. Unless a community work on reports or ensure that they will be submitting detailed reports for upcoming events, we can not help them. We hope that you'll be working on detailed reports and documentation. I also request you revisit the last few requests made to CIS-A2K by Malayalam community and make sure that reports are prepared and submitted. If you need help with reporting etc, we'll be try to provide suggestions and support.

Just for information, for such events, [[PEG]], powered by WMF may be also be applied. Regards. --[[User:Titodutta|Tito]]☸[[User talk:Titodutta|Dutta]] 08:54, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

=== Expenditure details and report ===

==Financial assistance for SWAG materials for Malayalam Wikimedia Outreach 2015-2016==
We request CIS-A2K to provide a grant of Rs.70,000/- to help us print or prepare the following SWAG items. These material are intended to be gifted to attendees of various Wikimedia outreach programs and exceptionally performing editors during the current year. As we are conducting Wikisangamotsavam-2015 on 19th and 20th December at Kozhikode, we expect the peak demand and effective utilization of the SWAG material during this period.
:'''Malayalam Wikimedia WikiHandbook Qty:200@₹60 = ₹12000'''
::The Malayalam Handbook, a guide for the Wikimedia project participation for new users compiled by experienced senior ml Wikipedians have been quite popular and helpful among potential wikiusers of Kerala, since more than 5 years now. Every year, we continue to update this valuable outreach resource. The book is printed into some 60+ pages on moderate quality paper at economy costs. Though no number of copies of this book ever seem to suffice to meet the real public demand, we require at least 200 copies to be printed immediately.
:'''Wikimedia T-Shirts Qty: 150 @₹300 = ₹45000'''
::Considering the need to print with Malayalam logo and in some customized fashion and also considering the prohibitory cost of logistics, we would prefer to get these supplied locally from a qualified vendor after thorough evaluation.
:'''WikiPen Qty: 200@₹10 = ₹2000'''
::Crafted by village women as a cottage industry venture, we have identified these simple pens made of recycled paper and conspicuously marked with Wikipedia logo to be very attractive, effective and low-cost.
:'''Wikipedia logo Stickers Qty:500@₹10 = 5000'''
::Wikipedians and student community cherish these logos and retain them on books, mobile phones and notebooks on long term.
:'''Posters for Exhibition Qty:60@₹60 = 3600'''
::We have been regularly conducting poster exhibitions during Malayalam Wikimedia outreach programs. These posters, typically printed on A3 size paper and fixed on thicker board sheets, comprise of Wikimedia logos, simple editing tips and salient Wikipedia statistics. These are reusable for several events.
:'''Mementos & Souvenirs Qty:5@₹500 = ₹2500'''
::These mementos prominently decorated with Wikipedia logo are crafted by order, and is intended to be presented to very eminent and distinguished persons who are courteous enough to heed our invitation and attend our programs as chief guests.

You may kindly provide the funds for this material ASAP. It will be convenient and secure if the amount is received at the special bank account opened by the Wikisangamotsavam-2015 Committee specifically for conducting that program.

== Funding request for a laptop to Odia wikipedian==
* About the project: I am contributing to Odia Wikipedia since last one year. I would like to create an Odia Wikipedia community in Delhi and meet with them in regular intervals of 15 days/one month period. Inform them about Odia Wikipedia and other odia wiki projects and how to edit and teach them how to type in odia. Encourage school and college students to participate in the meetings. For conducting the workshops the laptop will be used. This will help us to increase community volunteers for Odia Wikipedia.

* Community link: This has been discussed in our community and the link is given here : https://or.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%AC%89%E0%AC%87%E0%AC%95%E0%AC%BF%E0%AC%AA%E0%AC%BF%E0%AC%A1%E0%AC%BC%E0%AC%BF%E0%AC%86:%E0%AC%86%E0%AC%B2%E0%AD%8B%E0%AC%9A%E0%AC%A8%E0%AC%BE_%E0%AC%B8%E0%AC%AD%E0%AC%BE/%E0%AC%85%E0%AC%AD%E0%AC%BF%E0%AC%B2%E0%AD%87%E0%AC%96_%E0%AD%A7%E0%AD%A8

We, wikipedians are trying to increase new as well as regular editors in Odia Wikipedia. For this we have to form groups in various regions and to keep in touch with them personally, telephonically or online.

In Delhi approx. about 20 lakhs odia people are staying. Some of them are well conversant in Odia, but don’t know how to type or use Odia on a computer and some only speak but are not able to write. We want to make small groups of about 5-7 people and meet them regularly once in a moth, to inform, interact and discuss about Odia Wikipedia, its projects, various developments made during the period and new ideas/initiatives to be taken to improve it further, etc.

In an initiative, through our e-learning Odia centres, which are currently running in Chattarpur, Tyagraj Nagar and Mehrauli, where the volunteers teach, odia language, to all school and college going non-resident odia students, every Sunday for two hours at no cost. We can involve these students in Odia Wikipedia for typing/scanning/converting old books and correcting mistakes in already available books & articles. In this way these students can stay in touch with their mother tongue and also increase their vocabulary skills in the language.

This laptop can be used in the following Wikipedia activities:

• To Conduct workshops and training programmes
• Interact with other outstation wikipedians online
• Volunteers who don’t have access to a Personal Computer/laptop
• Volunteers who wants to use after office hours or on holidays

Hello Titodutta, Please find above the English translation of the discussion we had in our Odia community. thanks & regards.--[[User:Pmsarangi|Pmsarangi]] ([[User talk:Pmsarangi|talk]]) 05:08, 31 December 2015 (UTC)

=== Discussion ===
Thanks for letting us know about this plan. We have a few questions:
# We have read your agenda items. Please tell us a few topics you plan to discuss during the meet-up?
# Is there any (tentative) follow-up plan(s)?
# You have mentioned INR 1,700 as travel expenditure by train. Could you tell us how many people will travel and from which place?
# As you are calling it an "in-depth Meet-up of Bengali Wikipedia", are you inviting Bangladeshi Bengali Wikipedians too, to join remotely (Skype etc.)? -- [[User:Titodutta|Tito Dutta]] ([[User talk:Titodutta|talk]]) 09:09, 23 May 2016 (UTC)

; Responses
# This meetup is unique in the fact that the community is going to discuss on both technical and non-technical matters that are of concern to the community. The meetup as observed above will also talk in great detail of the future action-plans and programs of the West Bengal based Bengali Wikipedia community apart from all the general talks and discussions. Issues such as Google OCR problem in Bengali Wikipedia that has still not been sorted out even after a previous(predominantly issues-based meetup, the last year) will also be addressed.
# Yes, this meetup will have similar kinds of ''review'' meetups which will follow both in the near and distant future. As a matter of fact, the community by-and-large, is currently deliberating with the idea of having monthly meetups for Bengali Wikipedia which all the active contributors do believe will eventually serve good purpose. Discussions related to this will also be taking place.
# The INR 1,700 is the travel expenditure of one person by train from Chennai to Howrah, India.
# Concerned and necessary Bangladeshi Wikipedians shall be given all the required post-meetup briefing and summaries, which will include all the important aspects of this meetup. However, as of now there is NO intention of either inviting or involving the Bangladeshi wikipedians to the meetup and its proceedings itself; by Skype, Hangouts, GTalk! or by any other electronic or non-electronic means.
'''PS:''' This meetup, as far as I can personally note is going to be of high relevance to the community. -- [[User:Mouryan|Mouryan]] ([[User talk:Mouryan|talk]]) 14:02, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
:::* Hello [[User:Mouryan|Mouryan]], thanks a lot for your detailed reply. CIS-A2K has decided to support this event, but please note these points and/or clarify these things before we officially approve it:
::::# Please submit original bills and reports after the event.
::::# Venue and internet are generally considered in-kind support (during your meetup in Kolkata in October, these were arranged by the Kolkata community. Kannada and a few other communities are conducting monthly meetups in this way). Also you have shown INR 1000.00 as possible internet bill. a) Are you going to conduct an edit-a-thon that day? b) is it possible that someone of you will bring their internet dongle?
::::# Have you finalized a date yet, is it 5th or 12th?
-- [[User:Titodutta|Tito Dutta]] ([[User talk:Titodutta|talk]]) 08:44, 25 May 2016 (UTC)

::: First and foremost I am on behalf of the entire community thankful for CIS's support and to you personally for being so prompt in getting back to me. Below are the points that will help in your considerations

; Clarifications
# Yes we will try to be as prompt as possible in furnishing all the detailed bills- which are under no circumstances expected to exceed the stated amount- of the expenditure incurred during the meetup soon after its conclusion.
# I am sorry; as I hadn't been part of the earlier meetup I wasn't really aware about this aspect and hence I had previously provided the given amount. However I had a discussion with a fellow community member and the internet will be internally arranged.
# The date of the meet-up is expected to be on the 11th of June. The exact date without fail will be conveyed within two (business) days from today. Actually, we are trying very hard at this moment to get a suitable venue ready at free of cost to save on the expenditures. Apologies for the delay and confusion -- [[User:Mouryan|Mouryan]] ([[User talk:Mouryan|talk]]) 14:11, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
::* Thanks. Please let us know once date and venue are finalized. Regards. -- [[User:Titodutta|Tito Dutta]] ([[User talk:Titodutta|talk]]) 06:42, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
:: The venue and the date of the Meetup has both been finalised. It has been decided that the community is all set to meet on 11th of June, Saturday at the premises of St John's Church, Kolkata- a venue that has been carefully chosen.
Also, one very important declaration from my side is that there is a slight revision in the expenditures. We will not be in need of the earlier stated amount(of INR 10,200). Instead the community will only be in requirement of a total of INR 5000(ie. 49.02% of the previously stated amount); the break-up of which I'm presenting below:
{| class="wikitable" border="1
|+ Revised Budget
! Item !! Cost (in {{INR}})!! Description
|-
| Travel|| {{INR}}1,700 ||Travel reimbursement for Bengali Wikimedian by Rail
|-
|Food || {{INR}}3,000 || Including Snacks
|-
| Miscellaneous || {{INR}}300 || Any kinds of accessories, pen & papers and/or any other unplanned expenditures
|-
| '''Total''' || {{INR}}5000 || Total expenditure
|}
It would also be extremely helpful if an initial lump sum amount is transferred to me(primary organizer, on behalf of the entire community) beforehand.
Sorry for all the delays from our end. -- [[User:Mouryan|Mouryan]] ([[User talk:Mouryan|talk]]) 18:44, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

== Request to honour leading woman Wikipedian from Hindi Wikipedia as endorsed by the community ==

Hello.

I was part of CIS A2K between 2013-14. During this period, the project, "Lilavati's Daughters" was started on a number of Wikis, including Hindi. Inline with this trend, I created the [[:hi:विकिपीडिया:विकिपरियोजना/लीलावती की बेटियाँ|project page on Hindi Wikipedia]].

As probably many of you are aware, Hindi Wikipedia extended the scope of this project by including this project as part of the larger project called "Hind ki Betiyan" (Daughters of India/ Women Achievers of India). Here is the [[:hi:विकिपीडिया:विकिपरियोजना हिन्द की बेटियाँ/सूचना|detailed description]] of the work done in this direction. One user who worked really hard in this direction is [[:hi:User:Mala chaubey]].

Acknowledging her immense contribution, the Hindi community has passed the Felicitation Resolution (see [[:hi:विकिपीडिया:चौपाल#अभिनंदन प्रस्ताव]]) lauding her immense contributions and asking CIS A2K to send at least one copy of the book "Lilavati's Daughters". I request CIS to kindly honour this community resolution. In the event of non-availability of this book, CIS may send a copy of the autobiography of any leading woman achiever to [[:hi:User:Mala chaubey]].

Umpteen thanks in advance. --[[User:Hindustanilanguage|Muzammil]] ([[User talk:Hindustanilanguage|talk]]) 19:02, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for letting us know about this initiative. We generally ask to submit a request at least 3-4 weeks ago. It is difficult to work on such a request in a short period. However, I'll forward it to team, and inform you as soon as possible. -- [[User:Titodutta|Tito Dutta]] ([[User talk:Titodutta|talk]]) 18:05, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
* The request is under review. -- [[User:Titodutta|Tito Dutta]] ([[User talk:Titodutta|talk]]) 07:28, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
* As we informed you earlier that it is very difficult for us to work on such a request in a short notice. We are facing administrative and other difficulties such as pending reports from your community (note: other than report submission, it includes report verification etc.) In such situation we don't think that we would be able to finish the review and other works in a couple of works. You may consider to reschedule the event. '''Note:''' rescheduling '''does not''' ensure funding from CIS, but the time is needed for a thorough review process of this request and other previous reports. You may also try other major grant structure such as [[Rapid Grant]]. Thank you. -- [[User:Titodutta|Tito Dutta]] ([[User talk:Titodutta|talk]]) 15:47, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

== Wikipedia workshop at B K Shah Medical Institute ==

Wikipedia Education program has been going on at [[en:Wikipedia:Education_program/B_K_Shah_Medical_Institute|BK Shah Medical Institute]] since 2015. The second round of this program is ongoing. As a part of this program, MBBS students write primarily [[w:Otorhinolaryngology|otorhinolaryngology]] related articles on Wikipedia. Currently this program is being run without any formal Wikipedia training for the students from expert Wikimedians. Therefore, it is being difficult for them to learn about the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Education_program/B_K_Shah_Medical_Institute#References writing style] on Wikipedia. This budget request is for funding the travel of [[w:User:Diptanshu.D|Dr. Diptanshu Das]], a Wikimedian doctor with experience in contributing to medical articles on Wikipedia (also a member of Editorial board of [[Wikiversity:WikiJournal of Medicine]]), to the institute to conduct a Wikipedia workshop for the participants of the education program.

|-
|Total || 16, 500 INR
|}

The venue would be B K Shah Medical Institute. The necessary facilities for the workshop would be provided by the institute. The date of the program will be chosen according to Dr. Diptanshu Das's convenience and in consideration of minimal airfare. The workshop should provide basic guidelines as in [https://1drv.ms/p/s!AiFCG63AKLWwgqxzd7gHuM9YopEWaQ this] along with guidelines pertaining to [[w:WP:MEDMOS|WP:MEDMOS]] using presentations like [https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/10WVNmC7rBsIPljJI-bsb4Nkezmittxz_SLpD9gMTueA/edit this] or [https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1NhQCghMcr5mEmw7V2bqyVh3Fec-voGGTC2ekKMS_MFk/edit?usp=sharing this], and handon workshop for the medical students at the institute.

In addition, it is desirable if Dr. Diptanshu Das could be provided with Wikipedia stickers (50) and buttons (50) so that he could distribute them during the workshop. --[[User:Netha Hussain|Netha Hussain]] ([[User talk:Netha Hussain|talk]]) 19:30, 17 September 2016 (UTC)

::a) The workshop will be conducted on 28 October if all goes fine. However, the participants and the presenter are flexible about the dates. b) I have fixed the link to the project page. c) 100 students who are now a part of the education program.

== Requesting reimbursements of amount spent on Wikiwomen's Editathon at Mangaluru ==

We organised two days Wikiwomen's Editathon on 26th and 27th of November 2016 at Ramakrishna P.U. College, Mangaluru. There were 15 participants. The event was planned in a hurry and hence there was no time to put up the request for funding before the event. Ramakrishna P.U. College sponsered the venue and the lab. We spent only for food. We have already spent money for food. I am requesting for reimbursement of the amount which we have spent for those two days on food and certificates. The amount breakup is -
# Food (₹100 x 15 x 2) = ₹3000
# Certificates (₹15 x 15) = ₹225
# Total = ₹3225.

CIS-A2K supported this event within time. An advance was transferred to [[User:Karikkan|Sajal Karikkan]]'s bank account and the swag was handed over to him in person. We are waiting submission of bills after which we will put out the expense statement here.--[[User:Visdaviva|Visdaviva]] ([[User talk:Visdaviva|talk]]) 07:12, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

Thanks Vishnu [[User:Visdaviva|Visdaviva]] and CIS for your all time support which you have provided to Malayalam Wikipedia Community. Received the 25000Rs as cheque on time for Wikipedia Sangamolsavam 2014.

We have successfully organized the program with less budget than we expected, with the help of Kannur District Library Council.
The Total expense was 19,520 Rs including transportation allowance provided to the participants.

Got 50 Wikipedia English T Shirts as Swag from CIS and distributed among the "Wikipedia Sangamolsavam 2014 Kannur" participants.
Handed over the whole bills and vouchers along with 5480 Rs change as cash at CIS-A2K on 19th March 2015 to Tanvir Hassan in person. --[[User:Karikkan|Karikkan]] ([[User talk:Karikkan|talk]]) 14:27, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

This event planning and budget was arrived at in discussion with the Telugu Wikimedia community and the event Organizing Committee. This is a much revised version which is put up here on Meta by the Telugu Wikimedians. As the event date was closer and as the Telugu community didn't have much time to go for a PEG and also because Telugu is one of the focus language areas of CIS-A2K programme, the event was entirely supported by CIS-A2K. We are awaiting receipt of all the bills. Post verification of the bills a detailed expenditure statement will be put up here.--[[User:Visdaviva|Visdaviva]] ([[User talk:Visdaviva|talk]]) 07:17, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

CIS-A2K extended support to this Hindi community event. Majority of the payments were directly done by CIS-A2K as per the e-mail correspondence with some of the active Hindi Wikimedians. Initially CIS-A2K was not sure of supporting this event, which looked like a community meet-up. However, based on the reasoning given by some of the active Hindi Wikimedians and the widely dispersed nature of Hindi Wikimedia community and the need expressed by some of the community members, CIS-A2K saw the value of supporting this Sammelan. We are awaiting receipt of all the bills, post which a detailed statement will be put up here.--[[User:Visdaviva|Visdaviva]] ([[User talk:Visdaviva|talk]]) 07:26, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
