Greetings from CIS-A2K!
We request the pleasure of your company at the event 'Re-releasing Konkani
Vishwakosh & Building Konkani Wikipedia' . The event will take place on the
26th September, Thursday,10am - 11am at the Conference Hall, Goa University,
Taleigao.
Upon CIS-A2K' explicit request, Goa University has approved the re-release
of Konkani Vishwakosh under Creative Commons License (CC‐BY‐SA 3.0) to make
it freely available to public and thus preserve Konkani language and culture
in the digital era. This encyclopedia will also serve as one of the main
sources of building and writing articles on Konkani Wikipedia (which is
currently under incubation).
This is a major win for the Wikimedia movement in India. This is, probably,
the first time ever a State run higher education institution has re-released
copyrighted content under Creative Commons. Hope more such initiatives will
be underway to "Let the Knowledge Go around"!
We'd like you to be a part of this event and help showcase Konkani community
and language on a global digital platform such as Konkani Wikipedia.
Please see the link for the invite.[1] We look forward to seeing you at the
event.
Best,
Nitika Tandon
