Post-meetup summary/Blogs/News edit

The 35th Bangalore Wiki meetup was held on 10July2011 at CIS, Bangalore. This was the 2nd year celebration of Bangalore Community meetups.

It was attended by 14 Wikipedians.

The main agendas for this meetup were:

  • Discussions
  • Preview of Oral Citations Project Video - Achal Prabhala , Shiju Alex
The Oral Citations Project is a strategic research project funded by a Wikimedia Foundation grant to help overcome a lack of published material in emerging languages on Wikipedia. It is being undertaken by Wikimedia Foundation Advisory Board member Achal Prabhala as a short-term fellowship.

Shiju introduced the project to the audience and described about the main goal of the project, how may literary, cultural and living customs and important aspects of humanity could be cited with the lively "Oral citations". There was a 45 mins video shown to the audience to explain the whole project and its outcome. The details of the project can be accessed at http://strategy.wikimedia.org/wiki/Oral_citations
