- Hello, thanks for planning this event. The Meta page (version link) you have created looks really nice.
I am eager to ask you a few questions:
- the participants are introduced to the basics of Wikipedia (and other WikiProjects) and how to contribute to it -- Could you tell us how many participants will be there? Is it 50? How many established and new/non Wiki-editors? We know that it might be difficult to tell exact numbers, an approximate stat would be more than good.
- In the "Measures of success" section, you have written: the number of new active users following the event and Number of articles and photographs submitted by the new active users - Could you tell us how many new editors, photos or articles you are expecting?
Someone supported this request anonymously (using IP address), another editor has reverted his edit. Could you ask them to write once again? Thanks.
--Tito☸Dutta 04:22, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
- 1.The hall provided by Oxford can accommodate 60 people, we are looking for 50 participants. We are looking for about 10 participants with wiki user id, but with few edits. Some of these participants are haveing problems in giving references or in using phot0s in wikipedia. The rest 40 would be totally new to wikipedia editing.
- 2. This is difficult to answer but Oxford Bookstores is looking forward for regular wikipedia workshops and other wikipedia events in the near future. --Rangan Datta Wiki (talk) 14:15, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks Rangan Datta Wiki for your quick reply. It looks good. So far only one person has commented on this request, let's wait for 11-2 day(s) for other inputs. Regards. --Tito☸Dutta 01:27, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks for your endorsements. I'll keep you informed. Regards. --Tito☸Dutta 03:45, 22 August 2015 (UTC)
Approved: This request has been approved by the CIS-A2K team. We'll be in touch with Rangan-da very soon. --Tito☸Dutta 10:36, 24 August 2015 (UTC)

Bengali Wikipedia Meet-up in Kolkata
We are going to organize a meet-up for Bengali Wikipedia and other sister projects in Kolkata on first or second week of October. We want to discuss different issues and probable near-future projects related to Bengali Wikipedia, which we can execute in the next 6-12 months. We also want to discuss and plan accordingly regarding the utilization of Google-based newly-released Bengali OCR software in Bengali Wikisource as much as possible. The community has been informed in the Bengali Wikipedia village pump for necessary support. The main requirements to organize the event are 1) Meet-up space or conference hall 2) To and fro transport cost of Bengali Wikipedians outside Kolkata 3) Lunch and Snacks for participants and 4) Wi-Fi. I like to request CIS to help organize the event. Thanks, -- Bodhisattwa (talk) 06:53, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

Bodhisattwa, thanks for submitting this request.
A few questions and comments:
- Can you ask community members to endorse the request (the way other requests have been endorsed)?
- You have mentioned second of October. 12 October is en:Mahalaya and Durga Puja will start within a week? Have you finalized a date yet? Do you think community members will be free at that time to join then?
- The village pump post looks excellent. Could you please start (at least a short) page on Meta too and add a (possible) participants' list and draft program schedule like this?
- As far as I can understand, this is going to be a meet-up, is that correct? Or are you planning any edit-a-thon etc. too?
Regards. --Tito☸Dutta 08:41, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
- Dear Titoda, thanks for prompt response.
- A group mail has been sent to all community members to endorse the request.
- The
tentativedate of meet-up is10th or11th of October, 2015 (Saturday orSunday). I hope community members will be free on that day as these are week-ends. - I have started an event page in Bengali Wikipedia where community members will discuss about the possible list of agenda of the meet-up. Necessary details will be provided step by step as per discussion and consensus.
- It will be only a meet-up. No edit-a-thon etc. are planned. The event will be mainly organized to sit and discuss the relevant matters together and chalk out necessary plans, so that we can execute them objectively.
- Regards -- Bodhisattwa (talk) 12:24, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
- Bodhisattwa, thanks for answering. The page you have created on Bengali Wikipedia looks good. We are watching this page. --Tito☸Dutta 06:14, 15 September 2015 (UTC)
- Bodhisattwa, could you please update the amount of money you are requesting, preferably with some details? Thanks. --Tito☸Dutta 06:25, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

- Hello, you have asked INR 5000 for 15 people. Could you check if you can arrange any discount from Oxford Canteen, or something like that? --Tito☸Dutta 16:06, 23 September 2015 (UTC)
- Titoda, I had a discussion with Ranganda about the food cost and discounts, if any. Food is expensive in Oxford Book store (sandwich cost Rs. 180/-) . Minimum cost of cup of tea is Rs. 50 in Oxford Book store and according to Ranganda, they will discount Rs. 10/- per cup for Wikipedians. Whether Oxford Book store authority will provide discount for food, is not yet asked for. Outside foods are not allowed. So, if we have to provide a sandwich and 2 cups of tea each for every Wikipedians, it will cost Rs. (180+40+40)/- =Rs. 280/- each. Now, for 15 people, it costs around Rs. 4200. If 2-3 more people joins the meet-up, it will cost around 5000/- in total. So, we have asked Rs. 5000/- to be safe. -- Bodhisattwa (talk) 17:37, 23 September 2015 (UTC)
- Titoda, We also want to organise a session on 2 technical matters. 1) Development of a spell-check bot for Bengali Wikipedia. 2) Possible Integration of Google-OCR with Bengali Wikisource. It would be great if CIS can send a person, who can train, enrich and discuss with some of the Bengali Wikipedians who have prior tech knowledge. -- Bodhisattwa (talk) 17:25, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
- Hello Bodhisattwa, it might be difficult for us, I'll forward this request. I want to ask you once question: could you tell me the works have been done with OCR recently? --Tito☸Dutta 08:20, 2 October 2015 (UTC)
- Titoda, Google OCR is definitely a point of attention among Bengali Wikisource community. Please visit this page created by Jayantada where he has tried to provide a guideline on how to use it. Though I am not sure, but it is definitely not wrong to assume that the community may be using this OCR in Bengali Wikisource project recently. As you are aware that the Google OCR has created hope among all Indic language Wikisource community including Bengali one, we will try to discuss this agenda at our meet-up in spite of technical limitation from our side. Thanks. -- Bodhisattwa (talk) 02:57, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

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

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 [1].
- 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.
- Thanks.

- Hello :), thanks for your detailed reply and specially creating the event page. I am forwarding this request to our team. I'll keep you updated. :) --Tito☸Dutta 08:59, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
- Hello, this seems to be a one-time activity. Wikimedia Foundation has suggested us not to support one-time events. If you are planning to continue your activities after/beyond this bookfair, please document that and let us know. Regards. --Tito☸Dutta 09:14, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
- User:BengaliHindu, if you reply to these questions, it'll be helpful for us. --Tito☸Dutta 08:34, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

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.
Community link: community discussion
Approximate Estimate of expenditure
It is proposed to print 1,00,000 (1 Lakh) copies and distribute them during Shibirams and other Important events.

Discussion
First of all, congratulations and good wishes for this initiative and thanks for letting us know. :) We have a few questions:
- Who are the target-audience of this handbook?
- Are they going to join Wikipedia as editors?
- How is your Handbook going to be different from other Sanskrit tutorials available on world wide web?
- How is this initiative going to help Wikipedia Sanskrit or Wikimedia movement?
Thanks
--Tito☸Dutta 11:12, 9 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. Blue Rasberry (talk) 12:17, 9 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. --Tito☸Dutta 08:43, 12 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. --Narayanan V T (talk) 07:42, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

- The project might be facilitated by Christ university, and Pavanaja will co-ordinate. --Tito☸Dutta 08:46, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
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 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. 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. --Tito☸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 Wikimedia's strategic priorities?
- Could you tell us about the pre-events you have planned? --Tito☸Dutta 09:44, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

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.
