http://editors.cis-india.org/openness/blog-old/wiki-womens-day-in-goa
<b>International Women's Day (IWD), also called International Working Women's Day, is celebrated on March 8, every year. There were a series of Wikipedia events organised this year with the aim of increasing participation of women contributing to Wikipedia. One such event was organised by the Access to Knowledge team at the Centre for Internet and Society and the Wikimedia India Chapter at the Nirmala Institute of Education (NIE), a Secondary Teacher Education College in Panaji, Goa on March 8, 2013.</b>
<p align="JUSTIFY">NIE is a respected institution providing pre- and in-service teacher education to thousands of teachers and about a 100 of them (99 per cent of the participants being women) joined in to learn Wikipedia editing and increase women related content on Wikipedia.</p>
<p align="JUSTIFY">Rohini Lakshane from the Wikimedia India Chapter and Nitika Tandon from Access to Knowledge, CIS lead the session jointly. The session began with the introduction of Wikipedia, Wikipedia volunteers, the five pillars, motivation of volunteers to contribute to Wikipedia tirelessly and a brief of different activities that are being organised to strengthen the Wikimedia movement in India. Most of the students and faculty members were curious about two main things:</p>
<ol>
<li style="text-align: justify; ">How to integrate the new community of editors in Goa with the larger Indian and global community?</li>
<li style="text-align: justify; ">How can teachers and students use Wikipedia to advance students' knowledge and add useful content to Wikipedia?</li>

<p>To answer the first part, participants were informed about regular Wiki meet ups in different cities, several city based and language based Wikipedia mailing lists where one can find volunteer friends, active use of user talk pages and village pumps, Wikimedia India Facebook page amongst many others.</p>
<p>To address the second part there was also a brief discussion about wiki project classroom coordination with specific examples from universities around the world. The teachers and faculty members will be sent a detailed outline of the program, list of universities with on-going projects, list of teachers who have used Wikipedia as a teaching tool and are willing to serve as a contact to help others set up a similar teaching courses.</p>

<p align="JUSTIFY">The session was planned to go on until late evening with hands on editing in the computer lab. But unfortunately, we (Rohini and Nitika) were informed that the session will have to close before the scheduled closing time as participants had to leave. Except for two or three participants coming on stage and making their user accounts and another 3-4 article edits, we couldn't include more editing as a part of the outreach session, primarily due to time constraint. We're hoping that at a small percentage of participants would try actual editing at home and contribute to women related articles and some of them will be successful in using Wikipedia as a teacher's tool. We have their contact details and we'll try and monitor their on Wiki activities and provide them support whenever needed.</p>

http://editors.cis-india.org/openness/blog-old/wikipedia-session-at-bits-goa
<b>The Access to Knowledge team at the Centre for Internet and Society was invited by Nikhil Dixit, Public Relations Officer at the Birla Institute of Technology & Science, Pilani – Goa (BITS Goa) to organise Wikipedia session on March 7, 2013. Nitika Tandon participated in this workshop and shares with us the developments.</b>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">Despite the fact that students were busy with their exams and lab tests nearly 30 of them turned up for the event. Many of the students had already tried a bit of IP editing but had not bothered to create accounts. When asked why they hadn't created user accounts many of them said they didn't feel that it is important to create accounts till they are able to correct or add information that they want to share using IPs. The participants were then told about the importance of creating user accounts: using it as an identity with the Wikipedia community, each edit being added to their edit count, helping them build trust, friends and connections with other editors, being able to become Wikipedia administrators or system operators, etc.</p>
<p align="JUSTIFY">As most of the participants had some knowledge of Wikipedia editing, having made sporadic edits in the past, they wanted to know more about advanced editing. About an hour was therefore spent on actual hands on editing where students tried — adding references, wiki markups, info boxes, etc. Students were also taught on how to use user talk pages to interact with other editors. During the course of the workshop we figured that one of the participants had worked on <a href="http://live.wikimedia.in/">live.wikimedia.in</a> search in 2011 and we invited him to talk a little about his project, experience and involvement. A lot of students were surprised that one amongst their fellow students had worked with the Wikimedia movement in India and achieved so much success. His story really inspired several in the room and many participants made promises to get more involved as editors. Many participants were also curious to know more about Hackathons.</p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><i>Our next step is to connect participants from all the workshops organised in Goa at <a class="external-link" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BITS_Goa">BITS Goa</a>, <a class="external-link" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goa_University">Goa University</a>, <a class="external-link" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goa_State_Central_Library">Central State Library</a> and Nirmala Institute of Education, since December last year, to enable and support them to organise regular Wiki meet-ups and programs, etc., and strengthen the Wikimedia movement in Goa</i>.</p>

No publisherpraskrishnaAccess to KnowledgeWikimediaWikipediaWorkshopOpennessEvent2013-03-15T09:52:18ZEventSummary of the CIS workshop on the Draft Human DNA Profiling Bill 2012
http://editors.cis-india.org/internet-governance/blog/summary-of-cis-workshop-on-dna-profiling-bill-2012
<b>On March 1st, 2013, the Centre for Internet and Society organized a workshop which analysed the April 2012 draft Human DNA Profiling Bill and its potential implications on human rights in India.</b>
<hr />
<p><i>This research was undertaken as part of the 'SAFEGUARDS' project that CIS is undertaking with Privacy International and IDRC</i>.</p>
<hr />
<p>Think you control who has access to your DNA data? That might just be a myth of the past. Today, clearly things have changed, as draft Bills with the objective of creating state, regional, and national DNA databases in India have been leaked over the last years. Plans of profiling certain residents in India are being unravelled as, apparently, the new policy when collecting, handling, analysing, sharing and storing DNA data is that all personal information is welcome; the more, the merrier!<span> </span></p>
<p>Who is behind all of this? The Centre for DNA Fingerprinting and Diagnostics in India created the 2007 draft DNA Profiling Bill<a href="file:///C:/Users/Owner/Documents/Documents/CIS%20blog%20on%20DNA%20Bills.docx#_ftn1">[1]</a>, with the aim of regulating the use of DNA for forensic and other purposes. In February 2012 another draft of the Bill was leaked which was created by the Department of Biotechnology. The most recent version of the Bill was drafted in April 2012 and seeks to create DNA databases at the state, regional and national level in India<a href="file:///C:/Users/Owner/Documents/Documents/CIS%20blog%20on%20DNA%20Bills.docx#_ftn2">[2]</a>. According to the latest 2012 draft Human DNA Profiling Bill, each DNA database will contain profiles of victims, offenders, suspects, missing persons and volunteers for the purpose of identification in criminal and civil proceedings. The Bill also establishes a process for certifying DNA laboratories, and a DNA Profiling Board for overseeing the carrying out of the Act.</p>
<p>However, the 2012 draft Human DNA Profiling Bill lacks adequate safeguards and its various loopholes and overreaching provisions could create a potential for abuse. The creation of DNA databases is currently unregulated in India and although regulations should be enacted to prevent data breaches, the current Bill raises major concerns in regards to the collection, use, analysis and retention of DNA samples, DNA data and DNA profiles. In other words, the proposed DNA databases would not only be restricted to criminals…</p>

<p class="italized"><a class="external-link" href="http://dnaphenomena.blogspot.in/2011/05/dna-profiling.html"></a>Du<span>ring the workshop </span><a href="file:///C:/Users/Owner/Documents/Documents/CIS%20blog%20on%20DNA%20Bills.docx#_ftn3">[3]</a><span>on the 2012 draft Human DNA Profiling Bill, DNA</span><a href="file:///C:/Users/Owner/Documents/Documents/CIS%20blog%20on%20DNA%20Bills.docx#_ftn4">[4]</a><span> was defined as a material that determines a persons´ hereditary traits, whilst DNA profiling</span><a href="file:///C:/Users/Owner/Documents/Documents/CIS%20blog%20on%20DNA%20Bills.docx#_ftn5">[5]</a><span> was defined as the processing and analysis of unique sequences of parts of DNA. Thus the uniqueness of DNA data is clear and the implications that could potentially occur through its profiling could be tremendous. The 2007 DNA Profiling Bill has been amended, yet its current 2012 version appears not only to be more intrusive, but to also be extremely vague in terms of protecting data, whilst very deterministic in regards to the DNA Profiling Board´s power. A central question in the meeting was:</span></p>
<blockquote class="italized"><i>Should DNA databases be created at all? </i></blockquote>
<p><i> </i></p>
<p>The following concerns were raised and discussed during the workshop:</p>
<h3>● The myth of the infallibility of DNA evidence</h3>
<p>The Innocence Project<a href="file:///C:/Users/Owner/Documents/Documents/CIS%20blog%20on%20DNA%20Bills.docx#_ftn6">[6]</a>, which was presented at the workshop, appears to provide an appeal towards the storage of DNA samples and profiles, as it represents clients seeking post-conviction DNA testing to prove their innocence. According to statistics presented at the workshop, there have been 303 post-conviction exonerations in the United States, as a result of individuals proving their innocence through DNA testing. Though post-conviction exonerations can be useful, they cannot be the basis and main justification for creating DNA databases. Although DNA testing could enable post-conviction exonerations, errors in matching data remain a high probability and could result in innocent people being accused, arrested and prosecuted for crimes they did not commit. Thus, arguments towards the necessity and utility of the creation of DNA databases in India appear to be weak, especially since DNA evidence is <i>not </i>infallible<a href="file:///C:/Users/Owner/Documents/Documents/CIS%20blog%20on%20DNA%20Bills.docx#_ftn7">[7]</a>.</p>
<p>False matches can occur based on the type of profiling system used, and errors can take place in the chain of custody of the DNA sample, all of which indicate the weakness of DNA evidence being used. DNA data only provides<i> probabilities</i> of potential matches between DNA profiles and the larger the amount of DNA data collected, the larger the probability of an error in matching profiles<a href="file:///C:/Users/Owner/Documents/Documents/CIS%20blog%20on%20DNA%20Bills.docx#_ftn8">[8]</a>.</p>
<h3>● <b>The non-criteria of DNA data collection</b></h3>
<p>How and when can DNA data be collected? The amended draft 2012 Bill remains extremely vague and broad. In particular, the Bill states that <i>all</i> offences under the Indian Penal Code and other laws, such as the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act, 1956, are applicable instances of human DNA profiling. Section B(viii) of the Schedule states that human DNA profiling will be applicable for offences under <i>´any other law as may be specified by the regulations made by the Board´</i>. This incredibly vague section empowers the DNA Profiling Board with the ultimate power to decide upon the offences under which DNA data will be collected. The issue is this: most laws have loopholes. A Bill which lists applicable instances of human DNA profiling, under the umbrella of a potentially indefinite number of laws, exposes individuals to the collection of their DNA data, which could lead to potential abuse.</p>
<h3>● <b>The DNA Profiling Board´s power</b></h3>
<p>The DNA Profiling Board has ´absolute´ power, especially according to the 2012 draft Human DNA Profiling Bill. Some of the Board´s functions include providing recommendations for provision of privacy protection laws, regulations and practices relating to access to, or use of, stored DNA samples or DNA analyses<a href="file:///C:/Users/Owner/Documents/Documents/CIS%20blog%20on%20DNA%20Bills.docx#_ftn9">[9]</a>. The Board is also required to advise on all ethical and human rights issues, as well as to take ´necessary steps´ to protect privacy. However, it remains unclear how a Board which lacks human rights expertise will carry out such tasks.</p>
<p><b>No human rights experts</b></p>
<p><b> </b></p>
<p>Despite the various amendments<a href="file:///C:/Users/Owner/Documents/Documents/CIS%20blog%20on%20DNA%20Bills.docx#_ftn10">[10]</a> to the section on the composition of the Board, no privacy or human rights experts have been included. According to the Bill, the Board will be comprised of many molecular biologists and other scientists, while human rights experts have not been included to the list. This can potentially be problematic as a lack of expertise on privacy and human rights laws can lead to the regulation of DNA databases without taking civil liberties into consideration.</p>
<p><b>Vague authorisation for communication of DNA profiles</b></p>
<p><b> </b></p>
<p>The Bill also empowers the Board to ´authorise procedures for communication of DNA profiles for<i> civil proceedings</i> and for crime investigation by law enforcement and <i>other agencies</i>´<a href="file:///C:/Users/Owner/Documents/Documents/CIS%20blog%20on%20DNA%20Bills.docx#_ftn11">[11]</a>. Although the 2007 Bill <a href="file:///C:/Users/Owner/Documents/Documents/CIS%20blog%20on%20DNA%20Bills.docx#_ftn12">[12]</a>restricted the Boards´ authorisation to crime investigation by law enforcement agencies, its 2012 amendment extends such authorisation to ´civil proceedings´ which can also be carried out by so-called ´other agencies´.<a href="file:///C:/Users/Owner/Documents/Documents/CIS%20blog%20on%20DNA%20Bills.docx#_ftn13">[13]</a> This amendment raises concerns, as the ´other agencies´ and the term ´civil proceedings´ remain vague.</p>
<p><b>Protecting the public</b></p>
<p><b> </b></p>
<p>The Board is also authorised to ´assist law enforcement agencies in using DNA techniques to protect the public´<a href="file:///C:/Users/Owner/Documents/Documents/CIS%20blog%20on%20DNA%20Bills.docx#_ftn14">[14]</a>. Over the last years, laws are being enacted that enable law enforcement agencies to use technologies for surveillance purposes in the name of ´public security´, and the 2012 draft Bill is no exception. Many security measures have been applied to ´protect the public´, such as CCTV cameras and other technologies, but their actual contribution to public safety still remains a controversial debate<a href="file:///C:/Users/Owner/Documents/Documents/CIS%20blog%20on%20DNA%20Bills.docx#_ftn15">[15]</a>. DNA techniques which would effectively protect the public have not been adequately proven, thus it remains unclear how the Board would assist law enforcement agencies.</p>
<p><b>Sharing data with international agencies…and regulating DNA laboratories</b></p>
<p>In addition to the above, the Board would also encourage cooperation between Indian investigation agencies and international agencies<a href="file:///C:/Users/Owner/Documents/Documents/CIS%20blog%20on%20DNA%20Bills.docx#_ftn16">[16]</a>. This would potentially enable the sharing of DNA data between third parties and would enhance the probability of data being leaked to unauthorised third parties.</p>
<p>The Board would <i>also </i>be authorised to regulate the standards, quality control and quality assurance obligations of the DNA laboratories<a href="file:///C:/Users/Owner/Documents/Documents/CIS%20blog%20on%20DNA%20Bills.docx#_ftn17">[17]</a>. The draft 2012 Bill ultimately gives <i>monopolistic control</i> to the DNA Profiling Board over<i> all</i> the procedures related to the handling of DNA data!</p>
<h3>● <b>The DNA Data Bank Manager</b></h3>
<p>According to the 2012 draft Human DNA Profiling Bill<a href="file:///C:/Users/Owner/Documents/Documents/CIS%20blog%20on%20DNA%20Bills.docx#_ftn18">[18]</a>, it is the DNA Data Bank Manager who would carry out ´all operations of and concerning the National DNA Data Bank´. All such operations are not clearly specified. The powers and duties that the DNA Data Bank Manager would be expected to have are not specified in the Bill, which merely states that they would be specified by regulations made by the DNA Profiling Board.</p>
<p>The Bill also empowers the Manager to determine appropriate instances for the communication of information<a href="file:///C:/Users/Owner/Documents/Documents/CIS%20blog%20on%20DNA%20Bills.docx#_ftn19">[19]</a>. In other words, law enforcement agencies and DNA laboratories can request the disclosure of information from the DNA Data Bank Manager, without prior authorisation. The DNA Data Bank Manager is empowered to decide the requested data.</p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<ul>
<li><span>DNA access restrictions</span></li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p><span> </span><span>Are you a victim or a cleared suspect? You better be, if you want access to your data to be restricted! The 2012 draft Human DNA Profiling Bill </span><a href="file:///C:/Users/Owner/Documents/Documents/CIS%20blog%20on%20DNA%20Bills.docx#_ftn20">[20]</a><span>states that access to information will be restricted in cases when a DNA profile derives from a victim or a person who has been excluded as a suspect. The Bill is unclear as to how access to the data of non-victims or suspects is regulated.</span></p>
<h3>● Availability of DNA profiles and DNA samples</h3>
<p>According to the amended draft 2012 Bill<a href="file:///C:/Users/Owner/Documents/Documents/CIS%20blog%20on%20DNA%20Bills.docx#_ftn21">[21]</a>, DNA profiles and samples can be made available in criminal cases, judicial proceedings and for defence purposes among others. However, ´criminal cases´ are loosely defined and could enable the availability of DNA data in low profile cases. Furthermore, the availability of DNA data is also enabled for the ´creation and maintenance of a<i> population statistics database</i>´. This is controversial because it remains unclear how such a database would be used.</p>
<h3>● Data destruction</h3>
<p>According to an amendment to section 37, DNA data will be kept on a ´permanent basis´ and the DNA Data Bank Manager will expunge a DNA profile only once the court has certified that an individual is no longer a suspect. This raises major concerns, as it does not clarify under what conditions individuals can have access to their data during its retention, nor does it give volunteers and missing persons the opportunity to have their data deleted from the data bank.</p>
<h2>Workshop conclusions</h2>
<p><img src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3235/3080247531_bf04a5cbe5.jpg" /></p>
<p>Source: <span> </span><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/micahb37/">micahb37</a> on flickr</p>
<p>The various loopholes in the Bill which can create a potential for abuse were discussed throughout the workshop, as well as various issues revolving around DNA data retention, as previously mentioned.<span> </span></p>
<p>During the workshop, some participants questioned the creation of DNA databases to begin with, while others argued that they are inevitable and that it is not a question of whether they should exist, but rather a question of how they should be regulated. All participants agreed upon the need for further safeguards to protect individuals´ right to privacy and other human rights. Further research on the necessity and utility of the creation of DNA databases in regards to human rights was recommended. In addition to all the above, the Ministry of Law and Justice was recommended to pilot the draft DNA Profiling Bill to ensure better provisions in regards to privacy and data protection.</p>
<p>A debate on the use of DNA data in civil cases versus criminal cases was largely discussed in the workshop, with concerns raised in regards to DNA sampling being enabled in civil cases. The fact that the terms ´civil cases´ and ´criminal cases´ remain broad, vague and not legally-specified, raised huge concerns in the workshop as this could enable the misuse of DNA data by authorities. Thus, the members attending the workshop recommended the creation of two separate Bills regulating the use of DNA data: a DNA Profiling Bill for Criminal Investigation and a DNA Profiling Bill for Research. The creation of such Bills would restrict the access to, collection, analysis, sharing of and retention of DNA data to strictly criminal investigation and research purposes.</p>
<p>However, even if separate Bills were created, who is to say that when implemented DNA in the database would not be abused? Criminal investigations can be loosely defined and research purposes can potentially cover anything and everything. So the question remains:</p>
<blockquote class="italized"><i>Should DNA databases be created at all? </i></blockquote>

http://editors.cis-india.org/openness/blog-old/odia-wikipedia-education-program-iimc-dhenkanal
<b>The Odia Wikipedia community collaborated with the Indian Institute of Mass Communication, Dhenkanal and hosted a pilot Odia Wikipedia Education Program. The program began in November 2012 and got over by January 2013. Sixteen student wikipedians signed up and took part in editing more than a dozen articles on Odia Wikipedia.</b>
<p align="JUSTIFY">Odia Wikimedia community is primarily active in three major cities: Bhubaneswar, Cuttack and Nalconagar. There was a sustained growth in the community during August-October 2012 which inspired the comunity to initiate a long term program like <a class="external-link" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Education_program">Wikipedia Education Program</a>. <a class="external-link" href="http://or.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:MKar">Mrutyunjaya Kar</a> from Nalconagar community reached out to several schools in Nalconagar and Phulbani to find a potential institute for such a program. <a class="external-link" href="http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Psubhashish">Subhashish</a> from <a class="external-link" href="http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/India_Access_To_Knowledge">Access To Knowledge</a> team of CIS supported the community for setting up a meeting with Prof. <a class="external-link" href="http://www.iimc.nic.in/mrinal-chatterjee.html">Mrinal Chatterjee</a> and few other faculty members of <a class="external-link" href="http://www.iimc.nic.in/branches-dhenkanal.html">Indian Institute of Mass Communication, Dhenkanal</a> followed by a workshop for the students.</p>
<p align="JUSTIFY">More than 45 students from both Odia and English department took part for the first introductory workshop. A <a class="external-link" href="http://or.wikipedia.org/wiki/ଉଇକିପିଡ଼ିଆ:ଉଇକିପିଡ଼ିଆ_ଶିକ୍ଷା_ପ୍ରକଳ୍ପ/ଭାରତୀୟ_ଜନସଂଚାର_ସଂସ୍ଥାନ,_ଢେଙ୍କାନାଳ-୧">program page</a> was created on Odia Wikipedia for the detailed plan and discussion. 16 out of 45 students showed their interest to take part in the program and signed up on the project page. Teaching assistants Bhagaban and Sucharita supported the students in assessing and suggesting articles. A follow up session was organized in December by the Nalconagar Wiki-Community to teach the students about the typing and basic Wikipedia editing. Students continued to edit their chosen articles. Though initially the program was planned to be run for 3-4 months because of the course structure and exam announcement students requested for the closure of it.</p>
<p align="JUSTIFY">The articles were assessed and wiki-fied by the wikipedians. On January, 26 a celebratory event was organized for the student-wikipedians. Prof. Chatterjee addressed the students about the benefits of contributing to Wikipedia in their mother tongue Odia. Subhashish along with fellow Wikipedians Dr. Subas Rout, Mrutyunjaya Kar, Srikant Kedia and Manoranjan Behera took part in a discussion about “What students can gain by contributing to Odia Wikipedia”.</p>

http://editors.cis-india.org/openness/events/knowledge-sharing-through-glam
<b>A seminar for GLAM institutions (GLAM stands for Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums) will be held in Bangalore on February 25, 2013, from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. The program is supported by Wikimedia, Creative Commons and the Centre for Internet & Society.</b>
<h2>Sponsors</h2>
<p>This program is sponsored by:</p>
<ol>
<li style="text-align: justify; ">Wikimedia Chapter, (WMIN), Bengaluru, a non profit society and the India Chapter of Wikimedia Foundation,</li>
<li style="text-align: justify; ">Center for Internet and Studies, (CIS), Bengaluru, an independent NGO, operating the Access to Knowledge program for Wikimedia Foundation,</li>
<li style="text-align: justify; ">Creative Commons, USA, a nonprofit organization that enables people to share their knowledge and creativity through free legal tools, <br />in partnership with</li>
<li style="text-align: justify; ">College of Fine Arts, Karnataka Chitrakala Parishad, Bengaluru, an autonomous institution promoting Art, and Education. Karnataka Chitrakala Parishath was first established as “Chitrakala Vidyalaya”, under the aegis of Chitrakala Parishath in 1964. The founder secretary Late Prof. M.S. Nanjunda Rao was instrumental in establishing and developing the institute, which has grown to the current international status. The Institution offers Post- Graduate and Post- Diploma courses, and proposes to begin a PhD programme [Research Centre] in the near future. Presently the Institution has been accredited and functioning as an Autonomous Institution as set by the U.G.C. and Bangalore University.</li>
</ol>
<h3>What is GLAM and what does it have to do with Wikimedia and Creative Commons?</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify; "><b>GLAM</b> is an acronym for Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums. It also incorporates other cultural institutions such as theatres, zoos, botanical gardens, public broadcasters, etc.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">The <b>GLAM-WIKI</b> project supports GLAMs and other institutions who want to work with Wikimedia to produce open-access, freely-reusable content for the public.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: justify; ">Why contribute?</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">Every cultural institution has an abundance of resources to share. A partnership with Wikimedia is a low cost, high-impact way for them to disseminate their resources to a global audience.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: justify; ">How to contribute?</h3>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify; "><b>Wikipedia</b> - Contributions can include article creation or expansion, reference correction and expansion, and institutional research/text donations.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify; "><b>Wikimedia Commons</b> - Contributions can include images, video, and other media as well as descriptions and metadata for already-existing files in the repository.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify; "><b>Wikisource</b> - As a collection of free and open content texts of original sources, appropriate contributions include out-of-copyright books and documents.</li>
</ul>
<h3>How does it help the GLAM institution?</h3>
<p>Here are a few reasons:</p>
<ul>
<li>It fits in closely with the core mission of the cultural institution of preserving heritage and history.</li>
<li>It step jumps the GLAM institution’s reach by increasing potential audiences.</li>
<li>Footfalls to the GLAM institution are likely to increase through greater awareness of the institute’s collection and knowledge.</li>
<li>It will provide a well-tested platform for the digitization efforts of the GLAM institution. Staff will find it satisfying given its global reach and impact.</li>
<li>There is a strong likelihood of higher public relations coverage of the GLAM institute because of Wikipedia’s goodwill.</li>
<li>Wikimedia Foundation and Creative Commons are nonprofit organizations.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">Different GLAMs have different needs and goals for their projects, and this seminar will educate the audience on how GLAM-WIKI fits these with Wikimedia's goals of free knowledge. From existing partnership programs Wikimedia India will present a few global projects, and examples on how they've worked in practice and benefited every one including the GLAM institutions.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify; ">Creative Commons</h2>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">Creative Commons is a nonprofit organization that enables users to share their knowledge and creativity through free legal tools. They develop, support, and steward legal and technical infrastructure that maximizes digital creativity, sharing, and innovation.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">Copyright laws were developed in a previous era where in protection was given to artists, authors, and other creators as a default. In this situation sharing requires a deliberate prior permission. In the internet era, so much of sharing of digital media is happening online, and these require tools that ensure prior permission, and control the level of use. The legal tools of Creative Commons enable controlled sharing.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">Creative Commons licenses are not an alternative to copyright. They work alongside copyright and enable users to modify their copyright terms to best suit their needs.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: justify; ">What will users learn?</h3>
<p>In this part of the seminar users will learn about:</p>
<ul>
<li>Creative Commons as an organization</li>
<li>How the Creative Commons licenses work</li>
<li>How they relate to Open GLAM, and Wikimedia</li>
<li>What are the tools? How to choose them and use them</li>
<li>How can people selectively retain rights, while releasing some of it for free public use</li>
<li>Examples of how GLAM institutions are using CC</li>
<li>New business models and online communities</li>
<li>Other applications of CC</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">The speakers from Creative Commons have a long experience of discussing CC with GLAM institutions.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">CC licensing also works for many other applications such as music, video, writing, and many other creative works. Open Education Resources, and Public Data are also some of the domains. The focus of the presentation will be on GLAM. However, people interested in other applications may also be able to take the opportunity to have discussions after the main presentation.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: justify; ">Who should attend the seminar?</h3>
<p>The seminar would be of interests to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Administrators of Public policy</li>
<li>Administrators of GLAM institutions</li>
<li>Art historians, Artists, Photographers, and Sculptors</li>
<li>Legal professionals</li>
<li>Bloggers, Authors, Editors, and Publishers.</li>
</ul>

http://editors.cis-india.org/openness/blog-old/promoting-glam-in-goa
<b>We organised an introductory Galleries, Libraries, Archives, Museums (GLAM) session at Goa State Central Library on December 13, 2012. It was well attended by about 45 interested people coming from over 10 different GLAM institutes in Goa. </b>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">Nitika Tandon from CIS and Debanjan from Pune community led the session about Wikipedia and GLAM activities that have been undertaken by our global community since 2010. The talk instilled a lot of enthusiasm in librarians and curators in Goa to start similar programs in their associated institutes.</p>
<p align="JUSTIFY">Some of the institutes attending the session were: <a class="external-link" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Museum_of_Christian_Art">Museum of Christian Art</a>, <a class="external-link" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goa_Chitra_Museum">Goa Chitra</a>, <a class="external-link" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bookworm_Children%27s_Library">Bookworm Library</a>, K.S. Goa State Library, GTL Bicholini, and DFLG District Library. Participants had a lot of interesting questions about starting GLAM projects in English, Marathi and Konkani, starting point of the project, logistical/financial support required to run a GLAM project, etc.</p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span><span>To begin with we'll be meeting Victor Hugos Gomes from <a href="http://www.goachitra.com/">Goa Chitra</a> who has shown keen interest to start a GLAM project. Goa Chitra showcases the rich tradition of implements, tools, arts and crafts. Goa Chitra has archived Goa's cultural heritage through documents, books, photographs, handicrafts, electronic recordings, costumes, musical instruments, and artifacts. In the coming weeks we'll be following up with Goa Chitra and more institutions to figure out the possibility of starting new projects in 2013.</span></span></p>

<b>A three hour Wikipedia workshop was organized by the Centre for Internet & Society, Delhi, in the morning of December 14, 2012 at St. Xavier's College in Mapusa, Goa. Over 30 participants attended the session.</b>
<p>The workshop started with a short introductory presentation followed by a learning session on how to edit the Wikipedia. Since there were lesser number of computers, participants were divided in groups of 2 or 3 at the maximum. Each group made at least 3 edits with the help of volunteers present in the room.</p>
<p>A follow up session will be organised in January or February of 2013 to organise an edit-a-thon for all the interested and enthusiastic participants.</p>
<p>A special thanks to everyone who helped organising this event, especially to Harriet Vidyasagar, Frederick, Debanjan - all from the Wikipedia family and Nitin Volvoikar, the Head of Journalism Department from <a class="external-link" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Xavier%27s_College,_Mapusa,_Goa">St. Xavier's</a>.</p>

http://editors.cis-india.org/openness/blog-old/two-day-wiki-workshop-in-goa-university
<b>Last month, on December 12 and 13, 2012, the Access to Knowledge team from the Centre for Internet & Society along with Wikipedia community members organized a two-day workshop for M.A. and Ph.D. students at the Goa University. Nitika Tandon participated in the event and shares with us the developments. </b>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">All efforts invested in discussions and planning the workshop over multiple mail trails, conference calls, one-on-one calls paid off extremely well. Over 35 participants attended the two-days workshop and thoroughly enjoyed the sessions.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">Most of the participants had already created their usernames before the first session, as it was instructed to them earlier, though there were some participants who created their user accounts during the session. Despite creating a <a href="https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42767">ticket</a> for releasing the IP from the "seven accounts creation limit" we ran into an IP block. This was the second time we encountered such a problem. We will look more closely into this matter for smoother operations in future.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">It was pre-decided by the organisers that the first session will be theoretical while the second session will be a complete hands-on-traning session. Hence, the first session started with a general introduction about Wikipedia, the five pillars, how Wikipedia works, a brief introduction about the Wikipedia community, and the state of Wikipedia in India.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">The following day participants pre-selected articles that they wanted to edit during the course of the second session. They were taught how to do minor edits, add edit summary, add references, view history and page statistics, and also briefed about the importance of publishing articles, and user talk pages.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">The two day long workshop came to an end with a meeting organized by all the participants to decide what should be their next steps. The workshop created a lot of enthusiasm in the participants. They got to know how individual researchers and professors build pages on Wikipedia, and they too can start by contributing one page at a time. They also showed keen interest to understand how monthly meet-ups are organised in other cities so that they could also organise meet-ups in Goa starting 2013 (the proposed date was January 16, 2013 — when Wikipedia's anniversary can be celebrated).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">The feedback received from the participants was extremely positive. In the meanwhile there have been some discussion about forthcoming workshops — we have already received inquires from five more institutes to organize similar events in Goa. It seems like the initial seeds have been sown for a flourishing Wikipedia community in Goa.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">A special thanks to Prof. Alito Siqueira from Department of Sociology Goa University, Harriet Vidyasagar from OLPC, Prof. Gopakumar from Goa University, Debanjan and Frederick from Wikipedia community and the CIS team for making this workshop a huge success.</p>
