Re: [Wikipedia-OR] [Report] Cuttack Monthly Meetup -2 ( 24th December 2011)

2nd monthly Odia Wiki Meetup, Cuttack, Odisha: The 2nd Monthly Odia Wiki Meetup was organized at IITM Campus. 4 active Wikimedians, Mrutyunjaya Kar, Jyanaranjan Sahu, Shisir Nayak and myself have attended it. *Session1:* - Introduction about Wikipedia editing and problems during editing. *Session 2:* - Importance of outreach for Odia Wikipedia & impact. The ideas which was projected by the Wikimedians are as follows: - To start a new project with a target of 2000 articles by December 31 so that we get support by Odia Newspaper in covering Odia Wikipedia. - To translate the English Wikipedia Outreach materials in Odia, so that we can use it in Academies with high quality printing to attract more people to edit Odia Wkipedia. - To create a list to top 500 articles, which exists in almost all Indic languages, so that we can get users through interwiki links. - If possible to organize a workshop in Bhubaneshwar, Dhenkanal, NALCO (Angul) during the visit of Subhashish bhai in Odisha. - A small discussion about the various causes of low attendance of Odia wikipedians at the meetup. - To organise a regular IRC/Village pump discussions Odia wikipeians every month and finalisze of the wiki meetup date (to be decided after discussion at village pump). -- Thanks & Regards, Srikant Kedia Odia (Oriya) Wikipedia Community <http://or.wikipedia.org> Mail ID - odiawiki(a)gmail.com Facebook- facebook.com/OdiaWiki Tweet @OdiaWiki _______________________________________________ Wikipedia-OR mailing list Wikipedia-OR(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikipedia-or
