In the Gujarati Wikisoruce Conference at Ahmadabad (23 & 24 February 2019), One of the Participant Mr. Modern Bhatt showed keen interest on this project and he started working on the same. He has single handedly completed 5 books and working on the next book. The community highly appreciates the great work by Mr. Modern Bhatt.

Subject: [Wikimania-l] Wikimania 2020 in Bangkok, Thailand

Wikimedians!
The Wikimania Steering Committee is delighted to announce our
recommendation for Wikimania 2020 to take place in Bangkok, Thailand, as a
collaboration among chapters in the region. This is a new model we are
exploring with a team of chapters and user groups from the East Southeast
Asia and Pacific (ESEAP) region. We are looking forward to assist with
organising one of the events we use as a platform to bring the sum of all
notable and verifiable knowledge to the world and – most importantly –
discuss, develop and dedicate ourselves to all things Wikimedia.
The Wikimedians in Thailand user group has been around since 2008 and
recently applied for chapter status. In addition to this, ESEAP recently
held a regional conference where they successfully emerged as a working
cooperative. We are grateful for the continued work these combined teams
are putting in, making this a genuine coalition in the ESEAP region.
We would like to thank the Wikimedians from Perth, Bali and Armenia, who
offered to host Wikimania. Organising Wikimania is hard work, and for this
we are grateful and appreciate anyone willing to do so. As always, we feel
privileged being part of a movement where people competently step up to
make this a successful convening. We believe that bringing together an
ESEAP coalition to host the event will provide representation the region
deserves. We believe they will do a great job.
The Wikimania decision process has been changing for some time and we will
be taking steps towards more transparent and sustainable processes. Bangkok
was not one of the original proposals received, but the committee felt this
location represented an excellent opportunity to make Wikimania a regional
and collaborative effort. The city was deemed a good location due to a
number of factors: visa-friendly, travel-wise accessible, reasonably priced
lodgings, plenty of universities and GLAM institutions are some of the
characteristics that make this city a strategic location to welcome a large
cohort and continue to expand our movement.
We are also happy that Joël Letang (event team manager at Wikimedia
Foundation) and Isabel Cueva (events program manager at Wikimedia
Foundation) will contribute to the organisation of the event. You can meet
Joël and Isabel this August in Stockholm at Wikimania 2019.
We would like to congratulate and thank the ESEAP coalition team for the
time and effort dedicated in making Wikimania 2020 a success!
Iolanda Pensa / iopensa on behalf of the Wikimania Committee and the event
team at Wikimedia Foundation

> Hello.
>
> We have released a comprehensive tutorial video -- as one medium-length video and as several shorter clips -- aimed at helping non-Wikimedians submit media to Wikimedia Commons via OTRS.
> This video is the result of a pilot project within the framework of the Community Capacity Development[1] program at the Wikimedia Foundation. It was led by Asaf Bartov[2], from the Community Development team, with the active involvement of an advisory committee made up of experienced OTRS and Commons volunteers. The script development and video production were done by contractor Victor Grigas[3], and reviewed by the advisory committee.
>
> The video is intended to be useful to OTRS agents, Commons volunteers, and Wikipedia volunteers in various languages, for helping non-Wikimedians submit media via OTRS. It is hoped that being able to refer people to the video, in whole or in part (to the introduction plus a specific scenario, perhaps), would save at least some of the very common back-and-forth correspondence many OTRS agents have to conduct with non-Wikimedian contributors struggling to understand copyright and Commons norms.
>
> The video is designed to be easy to translate and localize, with no speech, and a lot of interstitials, which should facilitate preparing localized versions of the video(s).
>
> The page describing the video, including links to the various versions, the script, and even B-roll material, is here:

>
> I request your help in three ways:
>
> 1. Spread the news in your communities, and ensure your fellow volunteers are aware of the availability of this resource.
>
> 2. Translate the video (the page itself is much less important) into your language, if not English.
>
> 3. Provide feedback on the video, or on your use of it, ideally on-wiki, in the talk page of the page linked above.
