This conference is our first attempt to invite and host selected members
from other Indian Wikipedia communities. We are planning to invite our
friends and well-wishers from most of all active Indic language wiki
communities in India to this most auspicious occasion hosted by Bengali
Wikimedia community! We are also planning to arrange few 30 scholarships
for non-Bengali Indic Wikimedians who are interested in participating in
this event. With all these, we expect coming year’s conference shall
become the largest outreach program any Indian wiki community have ever
attempted.
As a part of Conference, we are organizing edit-a-thons, a conference of
students interested in Wikimedia projects, a meetup of youth interested in
Wikimedia projects, photography contest and Workshop/Hackathon.

WORKS BY NIRANJANA
TO BE RELEASED UNDER CC-BY-SA 4.0 LICENSE
The Kannada Wikimedia community, in collaboration with CIS-A2K, is glad to
share that almost all of the works by Niranjana will be re-licensed under
CC-BY-SA 4.0 on the occasion of Kannada Rajyotsava.
Niranjana (1924-1992) was the pseudonym of Kulkund Shivarao, a prominent
Kannada writer of the 20th century and a leading figure in the Progressive
Writers' Movement. His prolific output, across nearly five decades,
included novels, short stories, plays, biographies, political commentary,
and translations. He was a regular columnist in the Kannada newspapers and
magazines. Among his achievements as an editor are Jnana Gangotri, a
7-volume encyclopedia for young people, and a 25-volume compilation of the
world's greatest short stories.
A total of 55 Kannada books by Niranjana will be re-licensed. This could be
the single largest and most comprehensive individual collection of a writer
to be released under CC-BY-SA 4.0 in any of the Indian languages. We are
planning to have a formal event to celebrate this, along with an
orientation session on the importance of Creative Commons for growing open
knowledge in Kannada and Kannada Wikisource during the first week of
November 2014. The exact event details will be communicated shortly. The
Kannada Wikimedia community and CIS-A2K would be very happy if you could be
present for this event. We would like to acknowledge the great initiative
shown by Dr. Tejaswini Niranjana (also Advisor to CIS-A2K) in getting the
below works released under CC-BY-SA 4.0.
