Malayalam Wikisource Digitization Contest, 2014 Prize Distribution Event & Wiki Workshop, Thrissur

edit

[This grant request is in an early draft stage. The same will be elaborated and refined at the earliest with precise details of costs, benefits and event organization. Since the event timeline is very near, it is requested to consider and expedite this grant application on an emergency basis.]

Introduction

edit

The Malayalam Wikisource community conducted an intensive digitization contest in the month of January 2014. The event was a great success resulting in more than 12000 pages of Malayalam books being converted into digitally accessible format by hundreds of individual Wikimedia volunteers and thousands of school students.

The prize distribution ceremony for the event was however delayed due to non-avalibility of organizational manpower since the conclusion of the event. Now that the schools have been re-opened for the new academic year some of the coordinators and Wikisource volunteers are prepared to conduct an event combining the prize distribution ceremony and a Wikipedia training workshop for the general public.

It is requested here to grant a sum of Rs. 100,000 towards the expenses of conducting the program as well as the prizes and certificates. --Manojk (talk) 13:45, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Pranayraj1985, we will work on this technical request. --Visdaviva (talk) 14:58, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Vishnu We are awaiting for the requested technical support from december to april. I and Pranay raj are active editors, We are not so good at current transliteration, inscript keyboard layouts present in tewiki projects. We are working on the wikiprojects using the apple keyboards software instilled in our personal and work place systems. But at times we have to use some other systems at internet centers, sharing systems of friends which we don't even have permission to download software and install apple layout. At that times we couldn't contribute to wikipedia. Please try resolving this problem as early as possible. 4 months is nearly long time. Thanks in advance.--Pavan santhosh.s (talk) 09:30, 16 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Vishnu Visdaviva and CIS for your all time support which you have provided to Malayalam Wikipedia Community. Received the 25000Rs as cheque on time for Wikipedia Sangamolsavam 2014.

We have successfully organized the program with less budget than we expected, with the help of Kannur District Library Council. The Total expense was 19,520 Rs including transportation allowance provided to the participants.

Got 50 Wikipedia English T Shirts as Swag from CIS and distributed among the "Wikipedia Sangamolsavam 2014 Kannur" participants. Handed over the whole bills and vouchers along with 5480 Rs change as cash at CIS-A2K on 19th March 2015 to Tanvir Hassan in person. --Karikkan (talk) 14:27, 21 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
