Activities

edit

Tell us how you'll carry out your project. Be sure to answer the following questions:
1. Are you doing one editathon or training or a series of editathons or trainings?

In celebration of the 10th anniversary of Bikol Sentral Wikipedia we are doing an edit-a-thon at Ateneo de Naga University in Naga City Philippines on November 11 and 18, 2017. It will be a two-day event that will focus on teaching new editors about Wikipedia and other related projects as well as improve and create content in the Bikol Sentral Wikipedia, Tagalog Wikipedia, English Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons. The CBSUA Historical Photographs Digitization Project will be launched at Central Bicol State University of Agriculture in Pili, Camarines Sur on November 25, 2017.


2. How will you let your community know about the event? Please paste links below to where relevant communities have been notified of your proposal, and to any other relevant community discussions.

The event will be done in partnership with the Ateneo de Naga University Press (ADNU Press) and the Central Bicol State University of Agriculture-Research, Extension Production and Entrepreneurial Development (CBSUA-REPED). The expected number of people to come is around 35. Relevant Wikimedia communities will be informed about this event at their respective notice boards.


3. Do you have experienced Wikimedia editors to lead the event?

Yes. There are experienced Wikimedia editors who will join the activity: Ringer, FroyAgta, Jojit fb and Billie bb. They will give introduction to Wikipedia and other related projects on November 11 and 18, and November 25. Aside from editing Wikipedia, these people have participated and facilitated the Open Web Day ADNU (2012), Wikipedia Takes Naga (2012), Open Web Day UNC (2013) and Wikipedia Takes Rinconada (2015/16).


4. Do participants have the equipment or skills needed to participate and contribute high quality content? If not, how will you support them?

The organizers and participants will provide laptops and personal wireless internet modem equipped with prepaid mobile cellular SIM. The proponent of this grant proposal shall request through this rapid grant, a budget to load internet credits for those SIMs.


5. How will you engage participants after the event(s)?

The activity is a follow up activity to encourage participants in the past activities to get involved in the movement. A Facebook page will be created to engage them in the project. A meet-up should be held within the next month to plan a follow-up activity which should be held not later than May 2018 to sustain the interest of the participants.

6. Is there anything else you want to tell us about this project?

The activity is an attempt to reignite the interest of former contributors and volunteers, and to attract potential editors and partners in the community. The team has a little capacity for financial management and reporting due to lack of this skill and limited available time from work.
