Description

Wikipedia celebrates its tenth anniversary globally on the 15th of January 2011. Wikimedia will celebrate this milestone with volunteers, donors, and other supporters on six continents. From the launch of a new outreach project in Kenya to a film screening in Tel Aviv, there are currently 110+ events planned worldwide. Our celebration events are open to participation by anyone who wants to join in reflecting on our collective accomplishments and goals for the future.

Wikipedians and well wishers in India are celebrating the tenth anniversary in a big way, with celebrations being planned 60+ cities across India. Bangalore event happened on 15 Jan 2011. It was a huge success with approx 250 participants representing all Indian languages and key interest areas.

As part of the celebrations, we are organising meetup with forenoon session on Telugu and afternoon session on English and other wikis in Hyderabad on Saturday the 23rd of Jan, 2011. We expect it to be attended by about 100 Wikipedia enthusiasts. We intend to connect Wikipedians with the general public and other focus groups in the city. There would be sessions to introduce Wikimedia projects to the public with a view to spur both consumption and creation of knowledge on various Wikimedia projects. There would also be updates from various Wikimedia projects as well as discussions on improving outreach in Hyderabad and Andhra Pradesh. We expect active Wikipedians, academia and any one interested in Wikipedia to participate in the event. In addition, we believe there will be much interest from the Free and Open Source communities and other professionals.

Reports

Telugu session

We had good celebration with cake cutting and release of CD containing Telugu Wikipedia Main page articles snippets (more than 170 or so), featured pictures and Firefox Telugu 4.0 beta(Windows) and Libreoffice 3.3 RC3 version (Windows, Debian packages). Over 27 people attended. This included Telugu professors, Doctors, Bloggers. Some people travelled all the way from Nellore and other places away from Hyderabad to participate in the function. This included introduction with focus on what each one is doing for the language. Live demonstration and practical sessions (brief) were also held.

English and other wiki sessions

English and other Wikis. We had participation mainly from students. Of the total 17, the students must be about 10. There were live demonstration and practical sessions. We were pleasantly surprised when two students of ninth class showed up and started creating/editing pages for their schools.
