Grants:TPS/Dhanalakshmi .K. T/4CCON
This Wikimedia Participation Support request was funded in the fiscal year 2014-15. A report is available.
Proposed participation[edit]
I am an active Wikimedian editing Kannada and Tulu Wikipedias. I was an active participant of the Wikipedia editathons conducted at our college, St Agnes College, Mangaluru, which is a women's college. These editathons were organised to address the gender gap in Kannada Wikipedia. Later on I took initiative to create Wikiwomen Mangaluru and organised meetups and editathons. I would like to give a talk on my experiences in doing these. Abstract of my talk is here.
Goal and expected impact[edit]
The conference will be attended by the people who are active in the area of open source, open knowledge and community activities. By interacting with these people I will gain a lot by listening to their experiences. This will help me in improving my further activities in this area. Participants will also benefit by listening to my talk.
