The National Public Meeting on Software Patents
https://cis-india.org/openness/blog-old/the-national-public-meeting-on-software-patents
<b>On Saturday, October 4, 2008, the Centre for Internet and Society, with the support of eighteen other organization, held a meeting on the National Public Meeting on Software Patents in the United Theological College campus. The aim of the event was to explore various issues surrounding software patents, especially from the perspective of the draft Patent Manual.</b>
<p>After introductions by <a href="https://cis-india.org/../../about-us/people/staff/staff#sunil-abraham" class="external-link">Sunil Abraham</a> of CIS, the discussions were kicked off by <a class="external-link" href="http://www.nls.ac.in/faculty_sudhir.html">Sudhir Krishnaswamy</a> (an Assistant Professor at National Law School), who spoke about typology of laws; principle-based arguments for excluding software from patenting; policy-based arguments for the same; and lastly, strategies for combating the patent manual. About the rationale behind excepting software ("computer programmes <em>per se</em>") from patentability, he theorised that given the location of "computer programmes <em>per se</em>" in section 3(k) of the Act, surrounded as it is by "mathematical or business method" and "algorithms", the exception seems to be a principle-based one and not a policy-based one. He also talked about what he saw as the practical realities of the Patent Office, and questioned the role the Draft Manual would actually play in the decisions of Patent Examiners.<br /><br />He listed out economic arguments as:</p>
<ol><li>Inapplicability of the incentive arguments. The software industry does not need patents since copyright covers software, and even if incentives are required, that is incentive enough;</li><li>Return on investment. Short shelf-life, and hence 17-year patent terms are irrelevant when the shelf-life is so small;</li><li>New intermediaries are created, who are neither producers nor consumers of software. These intermediaries who help in price-discovery. They discover value in patents which were previously thought neglected by the process known as patent trolling. </li></ol>
<p><br />Apart from these, he also briefly talked of the legal arguments around software patents, and argued that the question is not only about copyright vs. patent, but also about property vs. contract. He asked questions such as: "What role does copyright play in the software industry, or is contract more important?", and pointed out that while this might have been addressed around a decade ago, those questions need to be revisited given the current scenario. Further, he proposed that the strategies should not revolve solely around the Patent Act and Draft Manual, but around pre- and post-grant oppositions as well.<br /><br /><img class="image-right" src="../NMoSP%20005.jpg/image_mini" alt="Prabir Purkayastha" />Prabir Purkayastha of the Delhi Science Forum and Knowledge Commons spoke next, giving a quick run-through of the history, both legal and philosophical, surrounding software patents in India and in the U.S. and Europe (pointing out that most of the wordings of Draft Manual on this point are borrowed from a similar document in the U.K.). He asked the question of why people are opposing software patents. Is it because it is damaging to 'public interest', because it bad for Indian domestic software industry, or because it is an abstract idea which is sought to be patented in the guise of something else? He concluded that ultimately it is not the manual that groups are opposing, but the notion of software patents themselves. Thus, he focussed on how the phrase <em>"per se</em>" used in the Act ought to be interpreted by the Patent Office so as to give credence to the Indian Parliament's rejection (in 2005) of the 2004 patent ordinance (in which section 3(k) read: "a computer programme <em>per se</em> other than its technical application to industry or a combination with hardware"). Lastly, he talked about the various strategies to be employed in the fight against software patents, including pre- and post-grant oppositions.<br /><br /><a class="external-link" href="http://www.gnu.org.in/about-fsf-india/whos-who">Dr. Nagarjuna G.</a> of the Free Software Foundation of India focussed on what he termed "the absurdity of software patents". He emphasised how software requires an interpreter or hardware, and hence talk of "software <em>per se</em>" often becomes meaningless. Further, he underlined how embedding software in hardware was not innovation in itself, and stressed ont he changing notions of software and hardware as we evolve technologically. His equation of software with abstract ideas gives us a glimpse into the foundation of his objection to software patents.<br /><br /><img class="image-left" src="../PrashantIyengar.jpg/image_mini" alt="Prashant Iyengar" />First up in the second session (which was more focussed on the manual, and the law in India) was <a class="external-link" href="http://www.altlawforum.org/OUR_TEAM/profile">Prashant Iyengar</a> of the Bangalore-based Alternative Law Forum. He first listed out the different kinds of objections to software patents, including the point that there are only limited ways of thinking about programming, as Donald Knuth's <em><a class="external-link" href="http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/taocp.html">The Art of Computer Programming</a> </em>shows. Then he went on to go through the history of software patents in India, from the first software patent, granted in 1996, through the 2002 Amendment, the 2004 Ordinance, the 2005 Amendment, and the 2005 and 2008 Draft Manuals. He looked at the vocabulary surrounding software patents, including the words "<em>per se</em>" and "as such", and the cases and legislations from which the language used in the Draft Manual might have been borrowed. He also started a fruitful debate on the different ways to attack the implicit inclusion of that which is not "computer programmes <em>per se</em>" within the scope of patentable subject matter.<br /><br />After Prashant was Venkatesh Hariharan of Red Hat. He spoke on the practical benefits and harms of software patents, and spoke at length about the difference between legal protection of software in the form of patents and via copyright. He pointed to data showing that lawyers are the ones who benefit most from software patents, and that software developers were the ones who suffered most. Pointing to such practical issues such as how does one go about coding a simple e-commerce transaction when more than 4000 patents have already been granted in that area, he brought down the level of discussion from abstract notions of laws and legalities to practical experiences of software programmers.<br /><br />Next, Pranesh Prakash of the Centre for Internet and Society made a presentation on a small sample of software patents that have been applied for in India, and pointed out the infirmities in both the patents that have been applied for, as well as the problems in uncovering these patents because of various errors on the Indian Patent Office website. Going through a few of the patent applications, he showed how a great number applications have very badly worded abstracts, filled with weasel words, whose sole purpose is obfuscating the fact that what is being applied for is a software patent. This, he pointed out, made it difficult to both determine the scope of the applications (subject matter) as well as the innovations contained in the invention (novelty and non-obviousness), and thus difficult to examine from the perspective of pre-grant oppositions.<br /><br />After these presentations, the meeting continued with the Open House session which had many people making presentations, including Abhas Abhinav of <a class="external-link" href="http://www.deeproot.co.in/">DeepRoot Linux</a>, Arun M. of <a class="external-link" href="http://www.gnu.org.in">FSF India</a>, and Joseph C. Matthew, who is the IT Adviser to the Chief Minister, Kerala. With the wrapping up of this session, the proceedings for the day came to a close.</p>

https://cis-india.org/news/new-indian-express-july-29-2014-svetlana-lasrado
<b>Radha Krishna, an engineer, had always wanted to share information online so that people who wanted to learn more could just log in and benefit by reading his articles. Eight years ago he started his own website for this very purpose. But he found it hard to maintain the site. He then chanced upon Wikipedia, the largest open-source encyclopedia, which was then just becoming popular in the country. </b>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">The article by Svetlana Lasrado was <a class="external-link" href="http://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/bangalore/The-joys-of-being-a-Wikipedian/2014/07/29/article2354196.ece">published in the New Indian Express</a> on July 29, 2014. T. Vishnu Vardhan gave his inputs.</p>
<hr />
<p style="text-align: justify; ">He registered an account on the website and started contributing to it by editing articles and adding references. Krishna, who has contributed over 4000 articles so far, prides himself on being one of the first few Wiki editors from Bangalore.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">Komal Khatokar, on the other hand, has not spent as much time on the site as Krishna.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">This 19-year-old B Com student of Christ University had to contribute one article to the Indian language Wikipedia last year as part of her assignment in a language of her choice, Sanskrit. She says, “I wrote an article on G V Iyer, who was the first person to direct a movie in Sanskrit.”</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">But it did not stop there. Last May, she took up an internship project with The Centre for Internet & Society (CIS), which acts as a catalyst for the Wikipedia movement in India. She wanted to explore the world of Wiki writing.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">“I took part in a project to add articles from the Kannada encyclopedia online. We uploaded over 1200 articles, which will go live on the main website in October.” Komal now edits copies on the site and despite her hectic college schedule, wants to continue contributing to Wikipedia in any way that she can.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">Anybody with an Internet access can edit an article on Wikipedia. Globally, the English Wikipedia has over 4 million articles and there are over a million registered users.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">And in Bangalore, from just 10 members five years ago, there are now over 100 registered volunteers who contribute to the website on a daily basis, says Vishnu Vardhan, from CIS and adds, “Now, the maximum number of Wikipedians from India are from Bangalore and majority of the founding members of the Wikimedia India Chapter are also from here.”</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">Apart from English content, world over Wikipedia has many regional chapters covering over 200 languages to increase representation of region-specific content. In India, the Access to Knowledge programme developed by CIS works towards the growth of Indian language Wikipedias. In this regard, Vishnu states that Bangalore has a majority of active Kannada Wikipedia volunteers and is the single largest location for active Malayalam Wikipedians. Bangalore is also the second largest location for Telugu Wikipedia community after Hyderabad, he observes. The strong volunteer community is involved in the Wiki movement in ways more than one.</p>
<h3>Different ways to contribute</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">Jeph Paul is not a Wikipedian in the traditional sense of the word. Why? Because he doesn't contribute or edit articles on the website. What he does is very technical. He develops tools and gadgets for Wikipedia in India to enhance user experience. Jeph got involved when Wikipedia started providing grants of up to $30000 to people who wanted to improve the usability and functionality of the website. Jeph applied and received $500 for his project. His project was simple -- he created a visual representation of how an article evolved. He explains, “There are over 100 editors who pore over just one article and modify it — the edits can be a sentence that is rewritten, a reference link added or citations made. But the changes are a lot and minute. I created a tool where people could see what changes are made and how the article evolves over a period of time.”</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">Besides developing tools and software, Jeph points out that users can generate visual content. For instance, there are some topics such as historical monuments which require visual documentation. Users can submit their visual repository to Wikipedia to enhance text content.</p>
<h3>Wikipedia Caveats</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">Wikipedia, globally ranked sixth among all the websites based on web traffic, has laid down a list of rules and guidelines which users are required to follow. For instance, when one edits articles, one should avoid personal opinions. Komal cites a recent furore when there were slanderous remarks made against actor Ambarish.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">“Such personal opinions should be reserved for blogs. Wikipedia is a public domain website. Hence, when you become a contributor, you have a certain responsibility. You should refrain from portraying biased sentiments through your articles,” she observes. Contemplating on this, Komal adds that Wikipedians should not fabricate content. "They should only include what’s already published and authenticate it using a credible source," she adds.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">Another rule that is of utmost importance is compliance with copyright. Radha Krishna explains, “If you want to include information from a website or article, you can't copy the text verbatim. You have to analyse the content and paraphrase it based on your own understanding, citing legitimate references.”</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">When in doubt, the Wikipedians assert, it is always best to take help from other editors and collaborators through the ‘Talk’ option on the website or through monthly meetings.</p>
<p>It's easy to be a Wikipedia contributor:</p>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify; ">Register: Although a visitor can edit articles, it is good to register to keep a record of your edits. You will also get an access to Wikipedia’s enhanced editing features.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify; ">Start with editing: Click the ‘Edit’ tab on the article’s page to modify the copy -- check typos, grammar, sentence structure and add an explanation. For example, if it is a spelling correction, add 'Typo'. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Preview: After editing, see a preview of the modifications by clicking ‘Show Preview’. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Save: Then save the changes by clicking the ‘Save Page’ tab.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify; ">Format: Wiki uses a markup language called wikitext to format text. Acquaint yourself with this language by reading the online tutorial. For instance, you can change a text to bold or italics by surrounding a word or phrase with multiple apostrophes.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify; ">Link: You can add inline citations by linking a word to another Wikipedia page. To do so, put the word in double square brackets. You can also change the display text.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Categorise: Add categories near the bottom of the article by typing the topic using
<span id="text-e20ef4784efe4cdfb79fa179410b228e">
<a class="link-wiki" href="https://cis-india.org/home-images/Category.jpg">Category:</a>
</span>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Add footnotes: You can add reference tags around your source using <ref>Your Source</ref>.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Add external links: To add a link to an external credible website, type the URL inside a single set of brackets, followed by a space and the text to be displayed.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify; ">Talk to other editors: Use talk pages to discuss articles or any issues with other Wikipedians. </li>
</ul>
<p>For a detailed tutorial on how to edit an article, visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Tutorial</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">Wiki meets and awareness programmes: Since 2010, the Bangalore Wikipedia community has conducted over 40 meet-ups, according to Vishnu. “This helps increase participation among all volunteers, improves engagement and understanding of the work that is being done on an ongoing basis,” he opines.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">Apart from this, their main focus is to get more people to join the fray through ‘Wiki Academy’ which travels to different organisations in the country to get people acquainted to the website and give them hands-on training on editing articles. Radha Krishna explains, “We recently conducted a workshop at C-DOT and Don Bosco Engineering College.” He adds, “Wikipedia has a lot of sister projects too like Wikiversity, Wikiquote, Wikisource, Wiktionary, which people are not aware of. We want people to make use of these tools too.”</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">Rules every Wikipedian should follow:</p>
<ul>
<li>Register an account</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Don't share unpublished results</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Don't expound your personal theories or start debates</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Respect other editors</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>If you spot an error, correct it</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Write without using jargons</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Do not violate copyright and attribute statements</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Do not promote yourself</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Do not be biased in your tone of writing. Always cover significant point of views</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">Don't be afraid to ask for help</p>

https://cis-india.org/openness/blog-old/icar-adopts-open-access-policy
<b>In this blogpost, Nehaa Chaudhari discusses the newly adopted Open Access Policy of the Indian Council of Agricultural Research.
</b>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">Earlier this month, the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) adopted an Open Access Policy. <i>Inter alia, </i>this policy requires each ICAR institute to set up an Open Access Institutional Repository (OAIR), with the ICAR to set up a central harvester to harvest the meta data and full text of all the records from the Open Access (OA) repositories so set up. What is interesting from the IPR perspective is that the meta-data and other information of these repositories is copyrighted with the ICAR and has been licensed for research and academic purposes, for using, re-using and sharing. Commercial and other reuse would require the written permission of the ICAR. In a nod to the increasing importance of social media, ICAR’s Open Access Policy encourages its institutes to share their works on public repositories and social networking sites, besides adopting the mandate to have all publications, including its journals placed under Open Access. What might be harder to realize, however, is the publication of their research by scientists and other researchers across ICAR institutes or elsewhere, with publishers that allow self archiving Open Access Institutional Repositories. The ICAR Open Access Policy is available <a href="http://icar.org.in/en/node/6609">here</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">In May, earlier this year, the ICAR had released a <a href="http://www.icar.org.in/files/Draft%20ICAR%20Open%20Access%20Policy%20for%20Comments.pdf">draft version</a> of this policy, inviting comments. <a href="https://cis-india.org/openness/blog-old/comments-on-draft-icar-open-access-policy">CIS’ comments</a> had lauded the Policy as being comprehensive, detailed, and as being a positive step in the right direction, and had suggested some possible changes to the same.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">It is observed that the adopted Open Access Policy (OAP) differs from the Draft Policy (DP) in certain respects, some of which are a cause for concern, whereas a few others expand the scope of the OAP. <i>First, </i>while the OAP requires that Institutional Repositories be established; the requirement contained in the DP to use Free and Open Source Software which was OAI-MHP compliant has been removed. Given that this is an endeavour to foster openness, requiring the use of Open Source Software was definitely a welcome step sought to be adopted by the ICAR, and its elimination renders the OAP lacking in the spirit of openness to its greatest realizable extent. Further, compliance with OAI-MHP would have ensured interoperability, as noted by us in our comments to the DP, and a failure to utilize this would reduce the accessibility and impact of archived materials. <i>Second, </i>the OAP requires that authors of scholarly articles deposit both, preprints and post-prints of their papers accepted for publication in the OAIR. This is a departure from the position in the DP, which required only preprints be deposited. Given that there is likely to be a difference in content and form of the article between the preprints and post-prints (which are after peer review), the inclusion of both preprints and post-prints in the OAIR is seen to be a beneficial move. <i>Third,</i> the period of embargo while signing copyright agreements with publishers had been envisaged to be six months in the DP, whereas the OAP extends the same to twelve months. It is felt that scientific writing is likely to be time sensitive, and twelve months might be an inordinate delay for its availability in the public domain, possibly reducing its applicability and relevance. Therefore, it is suggested that the earlier embargo period of six months might be the better alternative between the two. <i>Fourth, </i>the OAP incorporates an End Note, that was absent in the DP, which stipulates the time period of three years for compliance with the Open Access initiative, and recognizes the OAP as the first stage of a larger process. Both, the time period for compliance, and the recognition that the adoption of the OAP is but the first stage, are appreciated.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">In sum, the OAP of the ICAR, while addressing some of the issues associated openness does leave room for desirability. Besides the suggestions that we had made <a href="https://cis-india.org/openness/blog-old/comments-on-draft-icar-open-access-policy">earlier</a>, other concerns include those reflected in this blog post, particularly regarding the departure from the DP in certain specific instances. Nonetheless, the adoption of the OAP by the ICAR is a welcome move- one that would hopefully be followed by other Government agencies such as the Department of Atomic Energy, the University Grants Commission, the Department of Biotechnology, etc.</p>

https://cis-india.org/openness/first-punjabi-wikipedia-workshop
<b>For those who might not be aware, Punjabi Wikipedia is one of the first Indic Wikipedias where community started editing way back in 2002. However, after the initial few edits all activities got stopped and it was inactive over the last decade. Recently we conducted a few workshops that led to the revival of Punjabi Wikipedia. This post is about the first Punjabi Wikipedia workshop held in Ludhiana, Punjab on July 28, 2012.</b>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">Surinder Wadhawan, a Mumbai based Wikipedian played an important role in designing this workshop and introducing Punjabi Wikipedia to the Punjabi speakers. The interest and enthusiam showed by Surinder encouraged long-time Punjabi wikipedian G.S.Guglani to join this workshop.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">About 25 participants came over for this workshop. The College of Computer and Information Technology (CCIT) supported in hosting this event.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">Sarabjit Singh, CEO of the organization introduced the invited guests and explained briefly about the session. Surinder thereafter made a presentation explaining the basics of Wikipedia editing. Guglani, one of the old and active editors of Punjabi Wikipedia talked about the Punjabi Wikipedia and its present situation. He then invited one of the participants and helped her creating her user account and edit an article. Janmeja Singh, a Punjabi language researcher spoke about unicode standards and the importance of Wikipedia for Punjabi language. Gurjeet Singh, another new wikipedian demonstrated Punjabi typing using commonly used keyboards with Roman characters for those who were not aware of typing in Punjabi.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">We then started the editing session. Out of them 15 new editors (of which 13 were female) edited various articles. We showed them the typing support page (<a class="external-link" href="http://bit.ly/Uw8WaV">http://bit.ly/Uw8WaV</a>) on Punjabi Wikipedia and distributed the same in printed form (<a class="external-link" href="http://bit.ly/Rk9wde">http://bit.ly/Rk9wde</a>). Guglani, Subhashish and Surinder helped editors with basic editing and referencing. New Wikipedians were also informed about the Punjabi Wikipedia Facebook page (<a class="external-link" href="http://on.fb.me/Pr7tBE">http://on.fb.me/Pr7tBE</a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/PunjabiWikipedia" target="_blank"></a>).</p>

https://cis-india.org/news/the-fifth-elephant
<b>HasGeek is organizing the Fifth Elephant in Bangalore at NIMHANS Convention Centre on July 25 and 26, 2014. The Centre for Internet and Society is a community outreach partner with HasGeek.</b>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">Facebook has 100 million users in India. You know who has a billion?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">The Indian Census.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; "><a href="https://hasgeek.tv/fifthelephant/2013-2/890-a-billion-snapshots-principles-and-processes-in-the-census-of-india" target="_blank">Varsha Joshi, Director of the National Population Register, was present at The Fifth Elephant 2013 to explain on how the census team collects and processes such a vast amount of data.</a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">Each year, The <a href="http://fifthelephant.in/2014" target="_blank">Fifth Elephant</a> conference brings consumers and producers of technology to understand how data is processed (via available technologies), insights mined from datasets in different domains, and opportunities that data presents for economy and society. The key differentiator of The Fifth Elephant conference is that the content is crowdsourced and carefully curated by a panel of experts.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">HasGeek, organizer of The Fifth Elephant, also shares a strong commitment to open access, open knowledge and open data. We ensure that every edition of The Fifth Elephant has representatives from the government –– either officials themselves or technology teams working on important data projects –– addressing citizens’ concerns around privacy and protection of data.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">In 2012, we had <a href="https://hasgeek.tv/fifthelephant/2012-2/64-aadhaar-worlds-largest-biometric-identity-platform" target="_blank">Pramod Varma and Regunath B. speaking about the Aadhar project</a> alongside <a href="https://hasgeek.tv/fifthelephant/2012-2/536-the-data-journalism-handbook" target="_blank">Lucy Chambers’ presentation on the OKF’s work with data journalism</a>, <a href="https://hasgeek.tv/fifthelephant/2012-2/535-nikhil-pahwa-rti-and-data-opportunities-issues-and-challenges" target="_blank">Nikhil Pahwa’s on RTI</a> and <a href="https://hasgeek.tv/fifthelephant/2012-2/533-riju-the-art-of-nsso-data" target="_blank">Sumandro’s on NSSO data</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">In 2013, Varsha Joshi talked to participants about the challenges that the census faces in collating data.<br /> This year, we have invited Mr. Ram Sewak Sharma, secretary of Department of Electronics and Information Technology (DEITY), to talk about the state of government data and how citizens can participate in strengthening government’s efforts.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">Why should you attend The Fifth Elephant?<br /> The Fifth Elephant is a relevant event for data geeks and enthusiasts, NGOs, journalists and members of advocacy groups not just from the immediate standpoint of open data. This year’s edition also brings talks from finance and healthcare where speakers will talk about the challenges of working with complex financial datasets, data security and privacy concerns in the field of genomics, and related concerns. S. Anand will speak about what it took – in terms of technology infrastructure and data visualization – to do <a href="https://funnel.hasgeek.com/fifthel2014/1146-scaling-real-time-visualisations-for-elections-201" target="_blank">real-time visualizations for the recently concluded Indian elections</a>. Participants will also get a flavour of frameworks – <a href="https://funnel.hasgeek.com/fifthel2014/1177-analytics-on-large-scale-unstructured-dynamic-data" target="_blank">Lambda</a>, <a href="https://funnel.hasgeek.com/fifthel2014/1182-the-state-of-julia-a-fast-language-for-technical-c" target="_blank">Julia</a>,<a href="https://funnel.hasgeek.com/fifthel2014/1165-scaling-spatial-data-openstreetmap-as-infrastructu" target="_blank">OSM</a> – and how these are used for building tools and platforms for mining data.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">We welcome you to participate in the discussions and enrich interactions at the conference.</p>

https://cis-india.org/openness/blog-old/ten-telugu-books-re-released-under-cc-by-sa-license
<b>For the first time in the history of Indian books, 10 Telugu books by a single author were released under Creative Commons license (CC-BY-SA 3.0) on June 22, 2014 at 10 a.m. at Golden Threshold, Abids, Hyderabad.</b>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">The event was organised by the Centre for Internet and Society's Access to Knowledge (CIS-A2K) team.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">CIS-A2K has collaborated with Telugu Wikipedians in convincing Indu Gnaana Vedika to re-release 10 of their books under CC-BY-SA 3.0 license which is compatible with Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects. Unlike the predominant digitization efforts (which only makes scanned images available), these books will be uploaded on Telugu Wikisource (<span><a href="http://www.te.wikisource.org/">www</a><a href="http://www.te.wikisource.org/">.</a><a href="http://www.te.wikisource.org/">te</a><a href="http://www.te.wikisource.org/">.</a><a href="http://www.te.wikisource.org/">wikisource</a><a href="http://www.te.wikisource.org/">.</a><a href="http://www.te.wikisource.org/">org</a></span>) and converted into Unicode (searchable) text. This will ensure that these books are freely read, both online and offline in various formats like PDF, epub, mobi, text, etc. This is a major milestone initiative by CIS-A2K to make the sum of all knowledge in Telugu freely available to all Telugus over the internet and is part of its <a class="external-link" href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/India_Access_To_Knowledge/Draft_Work_plan_July_2014_-_June_2015/Telugu">Telugu language area plan</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">Telugu Wikipedia has been in existence for 10 years and has 57000 articles on various topics. Telugu Wikisource is one of the sister projects of Wikipedia which has more than 9600 pages and 100 books, it is the largest online Unicode book library available today at the service of Telugu people.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: justify; ">The Programme</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">The event started with invocation by Indu Gnaana Vedika followed by introduction of Chief Guest and Guest of Honour.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">The patron of Indu Gnaana Vedika, Sri Sri Sri Prabodhananda Yogeeswarulu presided over as the chief guest and N Rahamthulla, long time wikipedian and Special collector, Srisailam project, Kurnool was the guest of honour.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">Addressing the gathering, Prabodhananda emphasised on the importance of availability of knowledge in ones own mother language, and also why knowledge should not be confined to books alone, but should be brought onto various platforms, internet being one among them. This would not only ensure wider reach for the books, but also enable the language to survive in the fast changing era.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">Then, a <a class="external-link" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXKCeyZXlZo">video interview</a> of guest of honour, Rahamthulla was played, where he spoke about creation of new technical jargon in ones own mother language and how Telugu was being used as administrative language in his office among his subordinates.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">Rahamthulla also spoke on the practices he brought into in his own office to adopt mother language at work and gave out suggestions that would effectively help all in adoption of mother language at work places with Telugu as an example.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">This was followed by Veeven’s talk on “End-User’s perspective of free licenses”, where he spoke about importance of open content, free software and free licenses.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">Then, program director of CIS-A2K, T. Vishnu Vardhan spoke about the importance of creative commons licenses in the context of Indian languages in Internet. In his speech, Vishnu informed that there is enormous literature and content available in Indian languages which is unusable because of ignorance of licenses. He listed out guidelines that would help writers to have their work reach millions through releasing it under a free license.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">Then, in a formal manner, the copyright holder of the books signed on the documents, specifying that the books are released under CC-BY-SA 3.0 license. In the tea break that followed, participants enquired experts on free licenses.</p>

https://cis-india.org/a2k/blogs/telugu-wikisource-workshop
<b>Recently, a Telugu Wikisource Workshop was conducted in Hyderabad between 22- 23 July, 2017</b>
<p>An introductory <a class="external-link" href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CIS-A2K/Events/Telugu_Wikisource_Workshop">Wikisource workshop</a> was recently held for Telugu Wikipedians in Hyderabad. This event was held in conjunction with the NTR Trust, an organisation working towards socio-economic change in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.</p>
<div>Wikisource aims to build a library of source texts as well as translations. The workshop held between 22- 23 July was conducted for both existing Wikimedians and those new to the movement. Prior to the workshop, Telugu Wikipedians were consulted and were asked to take part in the event and provide their support. The participants were taught the basics of Wikisource and encouraged to contribute to it. They were given a tutorial on the entire process from uploading the book to completing it as an eBook. They were taught important aspects such as copyright, Creative Commons licenses as this would help them select books to upload on Wikisource.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Says participant Sri Ramamurthy "I am contributing to Telugu Wikisource for a long time, regularly. I could learn how to do some important aspects of Telugu Wikisource like indexing a book and techniques like OCR in this event. This turned out to be a very useful event. As resource persons are from Telugu language and sessions were in Telugu, I could easily and quickly grasp things."</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Ten index pages were created during the event and 193 pages were uploaded onto Telugu Wikisource after the event. The event had only two female participants and eight male participants. CIS-A2K hopes to make more of a concerted effort to bridge this gap in participation between males and females.</div>

<p style="text-align: justify; ">For physics and statistics-department students, first day of the wiki winter camp involved students exploring English and Telugu Wikipedias, glancing through various reference websites such as JSTOR, IEEE Explorer, Google scholar, and their own textbooks in Telugu medium. New entrants created their user accounts on Telugu Wikipedia. Students got an essence of how an article on Wikipedia should look like, what should be there and what not. Few students came up with their own ray diagrams for physics (optics - mirrors) articles, uploaded them to Wkimedia Commons and then put them up in their articles. For some of the students, it was the first time they were typing in Telugu, and they felt very curious and excited. The rest of the three days students added about <a href="https://te.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%B0%B5%E0%B0%BF%E0%B0%95%E0%B1%80%E0%B0%AA%E0%B1%80%E0%B0%A1%E0%B0%BF%E0%B0%AF%E0%B0%BE:%E0%B0%B5%E0%B0%BF%E0%B0%95%E0%B1%80%E0%B0%AA%E0%B1%8D%E0%B0%B0%E0%B0%BE%E0%B0%9C%E0%B1%86%E0%B0%95%E0%B1%8D%E0%B0%9F%E0%B1%81/%E0%B0%86%E0%B0%82%E0%B0%A7%E0%B1%8D%E0%B0%B0_%E0%B0%B2%E0%B1%8A%E0%B0%AF%E0%B1%8B%E0%B0%B2_%E0%B0%95%E0%B0%B3%E0%B0%BE%E0%B0%B6%E0%B0%BE%E0%B0%B2/%E0%B0%AD%E0%B1%8C%E0%B0%A4%E0%B0%BF%E0%B0%95%E0%B0%B6%E0%B0%BE%E0%B0%B8%E0%B1%8D%E0%B0%A4%E0%B1%8D%E0%B0%B0%E0%B0%82">103 articles on Telugu Wikipedia on physics</a>, and <a href="https://te.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%B0%B5%E0%B0%BF%E0%B0%95%E0%B1%80%E0%B0%AA%E0%B1%80%E0%B0%A1%E0%B0%BF%E0%B0%AF%E0%B0%BE:%E0%B0%B5%E0%B0%BF%E0%B0%95%E0%B1%80%E0%B0%AA%E0%B1%8D%E0%B0%B0%E0%B0%BE%E0%B0%9C%E0%B1%86%E0%B0%95%E0%B1%8D%E0%B0%9F%E0%B1%81/%E0%B0%86%E0%B0%82%E0%B0%A7%E0%B1%8D%E0%B0%B0_%E0%B0%B2%E0%B1%8A%E0%B0%AF%E0%B1%8B%E0%B0%B2_%E0%B0%95%E0%B0%B3%E0%B0%BE%E0%B0%B6%E0%B0%BE%E0%B0%B2/%E0%B0%B8%E0%B0%BE%E0%B0%82%E0%B0%96%E0%B1%8D%E0%B0%AF%E0%B0%95_%E0%B0%B6%E0%B0%BE%E0%B0%B8%E0%B1%8D%E0%B0%A4%E0%B1%8D%E0%B0%B0%E0%B0%AE%E0%B1%81#.E0.B0.95.E0.B1.8A.E0.B0.A4.E0.B1.8D.E0.B0.A4_.E0.B0.B5.E0.B1.8D.E0.B0.AF.E0.B0.BE.E0.B0.B8.E0.B0.BE.E0.B0.B2.E0.B1.81">a 10 articles on statistics</a>.
