Dear Indic Wikimedians,
As you are all aware, WMF and CIS-A2K have come together in a
partnership with Google to launch a pilot project to address local
online knowledge content gaps in India. In order to engage and support
active Wikipedia volunteers to produce valuable new content in local
Indian languages, we are conducting a needs assessment survey. The aim
of this survey is to understand the needs of the Indic Wikimedia
community and ascertaining their infrastructure requirements that we can
fulfill during the course of this project. Please help us by
participating in the survey below:

We request you to share this survey across your communities, user groups
and network of fellow Indic Wikimedians.
Please do share your valuable suggestions with us and sign up on the
meta page below:

প্রিয় সবাই,
শুভেচ্ছা। আজ থেকে জাহাঙ্গীরনগর বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়ে শুরু হয়েছে ‘ডিজিটাল
হিউম্যানিটিস’ বিষয়ে ‘হিউম্যাশিনিটিজ’ শীর্ষক গোলটেবিল বৈঠক এবং একাধিক
কর্মশালা। এ আয়োজনের অংশ হিসেবে আগামীকাল ৬ ডিসেম্বর অনুষ্ঠিত হবে বাংলা
উইকিপিডিয়া এবং বাংলা উইকিসোর্স নিয়ে একটি কর্মশালা। কর্মশালা দুটি আমি এবং
বাংলা উইকিপিডিয়ার প্রশাসক জয়ন্ত দা এবং নাসির খান সৈকত পরিচালনা করবো। এ
আয়োজনে অংশ নিতে ইতিমধ্যে উইকিপিডিয়ান তন্ময় বীর ঢাকায় এসেছেন। জয়ন্ত দাও চলে
আসার কথা।
এ আয়োজনের মধ্য দিয়ে আশা করছি জাহাঙ্গীরনগর বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়ে উইকি কার্যক্রম
শুরু করা যাবে। এর আগে বিচ্ছিন্ন ভাবে কিছু কাজ হয়েছে এ ক্যাম্পাস থেকে। এবার
বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়ের বাংলা বিভাগের একজন শিক্ষক বিষয়টাতে আগ্রহী হয়ে সহযোগিতার
আশ্বাস দিয়েছেন।
আয়োজনের বিস্তারিত জানা যাবে এ ঠিকানায়:

Subject: [Wikimediaindia-l] Featured Wikimedian [December 2017]
To: Wikimedia India Community list <wikimediaindia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Greetings everyone,
I take pleasure to announce Hrishikes Sen as the Featured Wikimedian for
December 2017.
Hrishikes Sen
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth/Hrishikes> is one of
the most active contributors from the Bengali community. Though he started
editing English and Bengali Wikipedia in 2007, he had to take a long break
due to professional constraints. Later he started working on Bengali
Wikisource from 2012, and ever since, he has been an active contributor,
and expanded to English Wikisource as well. With more than 45,000 global
edits, he is an admin on English Wikisource.
As a child, Hrishikes always found reading books as a fascinating task. He
says that he finds reference books as interesting as mystery novels. That
interest, over years motivated him to contribute to Wikisource. The journey
and motivation behind his contributions to Wikisource can be read from a
post on WMF's blog, *Why I contribute to Wikisource?*
<https://blog.wikimedia.org/2016/07/25/why-i-wikisource/>. He says that
till date he's been only active online, but he plans to do outreach in the
coming future. He hopes that attending the 10th Anniversary Celebratory
Workshop of Bengali Wikisource in Kolkata on 10 December may be a harbinger
to his future offline activities.
Hrishikes believes that Wikisource will one day emerge as of the top
digital libraries in the world, and says that as a store-house for primary
and secondary source materials for Wikipedia, the importance of Wikisource
is steadily becoming invaluable. Much of his time, Hrishikes spends working
around Indian works, with a special focus on the works of Bankim Chandra
Chattopadhyay, Jagadish Chandra Bose, and Rabindranath Tagore. Apart from
being a proofreader, he uploaded more than *750 books spreading over five
languages*
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Books_uploaded_by_User_Hrishikes>
to
Wikimedia Commons.
Hrishikes hails from Kolkata, but is presently based in Lucknow. By
profession, he is a doctor serving in paramilitary forces. To his Bengali
friends, he welcomes them to contribute to Bengali Wikisource which has
more than 676,000 that have completed Optical Character Recognition and are
waiting to be proofread.
Regards,
Krishna Chaitanya Velaga
