<p style="text-align: justify;">Open Access Week (19-25 October) is fast approaching and we have a number of events in store – one I’m keen to tell you about now is a webinar we have planned entitled, “How to do Guerilla GLAM”.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Our speaker, Subhashish Panigrahi <a href="https://twitter.com/subhapa">@subhapa</a>, from the Centre for Internet and Society’s Access To Knowledge programme will be tuning in via the interwebs from India to share his vision, case studies of Guerilla GLAM initiatives in India, as well as touching on the creation of documentaries, learning resources and promotional material from acquired content.</p>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>GLAM = Galleries Libraries Archives and Museums</li>
<li>Guerilla Glam = “getting the most out from cultural institutions where collaboration and long term engagement has high cost and time implications.”</li></ul>

[Please ensure you are logged in before 3pm and have read the participant notes on screen]</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We will be recording this session and Subha has given permission for us to make the recording and his slides available here on the blog. We encourage participants to ask questions via the chat facility in Adobe Connect, or to tweet questions using #OAWeek #AOASG.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Abstract</strong><br />Building partnership with galleries, libraries, archives and museums (collectively known as GLAM institutions) is a great way of funneling the cultural content acquisition and bringing open access to such valuable data. But it is not that easy given the complications each country has in terms of formal agreement, organizational framework, etc. This presentation will detail about the learning curve of institutional partnership building, leveraging personal contacts in small scale GLAM projects and bringing in several indie-projects to cut implication cost, and execute low-cost models.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">During this presentation I will present two case studies of contrasting nature: India’s first GLAM project at the National Crafts Museum, New Delhi, and various small-scale collaborative projects. Where the first one would have learning from the six months long project, the second one will draw inspirations from many initiatives that have really no cost or low cost implication and less implementation time involved.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">At times, institutional collaborations become liabilities and labor intensive with low Return on Investment. Training staff and implementing GLAM projects are not always easy and retaining contributors is a challenge. Alternatively Guerrilla GLAM could be thought of when having a Wikimedian-in-Residence is not feasible. This presentation will be useful for those who can mobilize a small team of volunteers equipped with digital camera, access to local cultural institutions and some level of expertise of curating data.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Making documentaries and building narratives based on acquired content to creating learning resources and promotional materials will be another aspect of this presentation. Building partnerships with many federal or private institutions also needs sustained long-term engagement and volunteer time is not always enough to devote for a long term GLAM project. This presentation will detail about going the guerrilla way to acquire data from GLAM institutions. This will involve low cost models, leveraging various factors, and getting the most out from cultural institutions where collaboration and long term engagement has high cost and time implications.</p>

https://cis-india.org/openness/news/odisha-sun-times-september-28-2015-ruby-nanda-unable-to-read-odia-on-your-android-device
<b>If you get only boxes in place of Odia fonts in your Android device then it does not support the language. So you need to install Odia font in your smart phone; one way is to root it, but it’s not without cons.</b>
<p> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The article by Ruby Nanda was published in <a class="external-link" href="http://odishasuntimes.com/2015/09/28/unable-to-read-odia-on-your-android-device-dont-fret/">Odisha Sun Times</a> on September 28, 2015. Subhashish Panigrahi was quoted.</p>
<hr />
<p style="text-align: justify;">Rooting means breaking and getting full rights into the entire operating system of your Android. If done right it can turn you into a super user and open a wealth of opportunities with your handheld device. But, rooting is a complex process and definitely not for a newbie, as rooting leads to loss of warranty, security issues and a wrong move can turn it into a paperweight.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“Rooting is not advisable as it is bit complicated and turns your phone warranty void”, says Subhashish Panigrahi, Programme Officer at the Centre for Internet and Society, an NGO. By far the easiest way to read Odia is by installing Firefox Browser for your android mobile, he added.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Nihar Kumar Dalai, IT professional, has found an easy hack and with Panigrahi, he has designed a free licensed tutorial by which one can easily read Odia language in their smart phones.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“Odia fonts are supported only in the latest android 5.1.1 update, but people using android devices with older version may not have Odia fonts and can see only the boxes. We see many people seeking help to resolve this problem on Twitter and Facebook. With missing Odia fonts, people may end up writing Odia in Roman script, said Dalai.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“There has been very positive response from people who have tried this method. I’m happy to play a very small part for this cause, the IT professional added.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So if you are unable to read or write Odia in your android handheld then no sweat, just try out these simple steps and enjoy the fun of reading and writing Odia in your mobile.</p>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>Install Mozilla Firefox browser for Android on your phone from Google Play.</li>
<li>Launch Firefox and go to the Oriya fonts package Add-Ons page and select “Add to Firefox”</li>
<li>Click on Install</li>
<li>Eureka! Now Odia fonts appear on your android device instead of unrecognizable boxes.</li></ul>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Click here to watch the tutorial:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2For.wikipedia.org%2Fs%2Fucf&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNEVXipqv4vk1v0UT8LSU4pCrZc1bA">https://or.wikipedia.org/s/ucf</a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Once you’re able to read and write Odia, you can use any online Odia transliteration service e.g. TypeOdia (on Firefox browser), iBUS on Linux, Microsoft’s Indic language Input Tool, Google Input Tool.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">P.S: This method only works on Firefox Browser for Android and not on any other Apps. Android jellybean 4.3 version also supports Odia but there might be issues which are fixed by 5.1.1.</p>

The voluntary editor community has put its efforts into acquiring valuable Creative Commons (CC) licensed content by lobbying copyright holders/authors to relicense copyrighted content under CC licenses.<br /><br />Date and time: 3 June 2015, 5 pm<br />Venue: Institute of Physics, Near Apollo Hospital, Bhubaneswar, Odisha<br />Event details: https://or.wikipedia.org/s/sml<br /><br />It has also engaged with over 2,000 people by organizing various outreach programs including the globally accredited pedagogic program the Wikipedia Education Program (WEP). For its 13th anniversary the community is planning to release a character-encoding converter that promises to unlock massive amounts of content from government portals as well as journals, newspapers and magazines that have their content in non-Unicode character encoding that prevents user searching and reuse of digital-based content.<br /><br />May you have any further questions about the project or the event, please reach us in the contact details mentioned below:<br /><br />Mrutyunjaya Kar, Administrator, Odia Wikipedia (9437112371)<br />Sailesh Patnaik, Editor, Odia Wikipedia (7537097770)<br />Subhashish Panigrahi, Programme Officer, Access To Knowledge (CIS-A2K)<br />subhashish@cis-india.org. 08050515339</p>
