The research agenda for the program is based on legal and policy frameworks in the region connected to the ground-level perceptions of the fellowship focus areas mentioned above. * I am an International student can I apply and participate in the program? Are there any age restrictions on participating? Yes. You must be 18 years of age or older by January 1, 2012 to be eligible to participate in Google Policy Fellowship program in 2012. * Are there citizenship requirements for the Fellowship? For the time being, we are only accepting students eligible to work in India (e.g. Indian citizens, permanent residents of India, and individuals presently holding an Indian student visa. Google cannot provide guidance or assistance on obtaining the necessary documentation to meet the criteria. * Who is eligible to participate as a student in Google Policy Fellowship program? In order to participate in the program, you must be a student. Google defines a student as an individual enrolled in or accepted into an accredited institution including (but not necessarily limited to) colleges, universities, masters programs, PhD programs and undergraduate programs. Eligibility is based on enrollment in an accredited university by January 1, 2012. * I am an International student can I apply and participate in the program?

What documentation is required from students? Students should be prepared, upon request, to provide Google or the host organization with transcripts from their accredited institution as proof of enrollment or admission status. Transcripts do not need to be official (photo copy of original will be sufficient). I would like to use the work I did for my Google Policy Fellowship to obtain course credit from my university. Is this acceptable? Yes. If you need documentation from Google to provide to your school for course credit, you can contact Google. We will not provide documentation until we have received a final evaluation from your mentoring organization. HOST ORGANIZATIONS What is Google's relationship with the Centre for Internet and Society? Google provides the funding and administrative support for individual fellows directly.

Dear Fred, I wish your questions were more pointed. Still let me try. I can speak for Hindi. Do not have the latest figures but Hindi is really doing very well of late. In the last couple of years it has been growing at a furious pace. Whether we talk about Wikipedia with now more than 20, 000 articles, or the two-year old Hindi wikia, especially the kavitakosh, which has more than 10,000 entries. But the phenomenon that has outpaced everything else is that of blogs. The last count three months back was of more than 5000 Hindi blogs. There are two more features worth noting: a lot of these blogs are collective blogs, some being run as blogzines rather than in the conventional diary/blog format. Secondly, the spirit of helping others, popularised initially by Free software enthusiasts, is catching up in a much more wider circle, and there are people and places volunteering time and effort with the slogan of 'fill, share, preach, teach'. Most of the nespapers and magazines are already online and any new magazine now always thinks of a web version at its launch itself. Lastly, Hindi is getting much more diverse now, both in terms of software design and content, as the new languages, hitherto known as its dialects are coming into their own interfaces as well as content. This is happening more in the realm of free software localisation and blogworld. of course the classical divide between Hindi and Urdu has broken down as well in the cyberworld. I wish the community could be more forthcoming in terms of content generation on sites like wikipedia, esp. in the areas of non-literary knowledge production, for that is what a hugely expanding Hindi public domain really needs. मंगलवार 08 जुलाई 2008 19:09 को, Frederick Noronha [फ़रेदरिक नोरोनया] ने लिखा था: > Dear all, > > I just need some hints that indicate the current status of > Indian/South Asian languages in cyberspace.

Call for proposals:
RGF-Sarai, CSDS, short-term FLOSS fellowships
1 Introduction
The Sarai programme of the Centre for the Study of Developing
Societies, Delhi (http://www.sarai. net) is pleased to announce
fellowships for projects related to Free/Libre and Open Source
Software (FLOSS) activities. This year, we have partnered with the
Rajiv Gandhi Foundation (RGF) who are providing support for work in
the specific area of computing, and localisation in five Indian
languages, namely, Assamese, Hindi, Kashmiri, Oriya, and Urdu. We also
invite proposals from projects in other FLOSS areas, especially ones
that are relevant to educational, social, and community needs. Any
project that meets the criteria given below is eligible for the
fellowships, but we are particularly interested in:
o Indian language computing, including work on fonts, rendering,
locales, input methods, spell-checking, etc., as well as in
advanced technologies like OCR, handwriting recognition, and
speech-to-text.
o Localisation into Indian languages of user interfaces, and
translation of help documents for FLOSS applications.
o In the interest of sustained development, we would like to see
the enhancement of, and extensions for projects funded as part
of past Sarai FLOSS fellowships. In particular, we draw
attention to NewsRack (http://newsrack.in), Hindawi
(http://www.indicybers.com), and ApnaOpus
(http://apnaopus.var.cc).
o Documentation for users of FLOSS tools, particularly in the
area of Indian language computing. The production of video
tutorials would be welcome.
o Development of graphics, multimedia, and publishing tools. This
would include applications for audio/video editing, animation,
and desktop publishing. Enhancement of existing FLOSS tools is
especially encouraged.
o Putting together, distributing, and supporting a complete
Indian language distribution, using FLOSS operating systems,
and tools.
o Collaboration software, and groupware solutions.
o Writing Linux device drivers, and front-ends for common
hardware, such as wireless cards, graphics cards, scanners, and
printers.
The other significant difference from past practice is that we
will be asking for more of a collaborative approach from the
fellows, both among one another, and with people at Sarai. The
collaboration need not be in the actual development, but can consist
of an ongoing conversation about one's work, its direction, and
current status. While this has been an implicit expectation in the
past, this time we are making the requirement explicit. The exact
details of these will be worked out with the selected fellows, but
will include things like discussions over IRC, email, and postings on
the Sarai Project Resource Centre (PRC) mailing list. Fellows will
also be asked to prepare a timeline for the projects, with
intermediate milestones, and will be expected to adhere to them.
1
2 Applying for the fellowships
We invite students, developers, researchers, and practitioners
interested in the FLOSS arena to apply for the fellowships. While
there is no prescribed format for the applications, we expect them to
be in sufficient detail for a reviewer to sensibly evaluate them.
Attention to details, such as a plan of work that addresses what is
possible to accomplish within the limited project period, a projection
of how the work might be continued after that, and a discussion of the
possible impact of the project, is strongly recommended. In
particular, we will look favourably on projects aimed at eventual
deployment, rather than development per se. Please mail your
application, along with a resume, to fl...@sa... , with the
subject line of "RGF-Sarai FLOSS fellowships". As this information is
intended to be public, also subscribe to the PRC mailing list at
https://mail.sarai.net/mailman/listinfo/prc, and post a copy there,
failing which your final proposal will be forwarded there by one of
us. Enquiries are invited at fl...@sa... , and on the PRC list,
including questions on how to frame proposals. The last date of
submission is midnight IST on Sun., June 25th, 2007. The projects will
run for a total of about six months, with a final workshop to be held
at Sarai, CSDS, Delhi, where the fellows will be expected to present a
summary of their work. Besides this, as part of our engagement with
the RGF, we will be holding workshops in regional locations, and the
FLOSS fellows will be asked to be present at events local to them. The
total amount of the fellowship will be Rs. 70, 000.
3 Conditions
Applicants should have a valid bank account in any bank operating in
India. These are support grants, and the fellows are free to pursue
their primary occupations in parallel, as long as they keep working
on proposed projects. The fellows must be willing to make a release
of their final work under any open-source licence approved by the
Open Source Initiative (OSI). Please see under
http://www.opensource.org/licenses for a complete list. Proposals from
teams, partnerships, collectives, and faculty on the behalf of a group
of students are welcome, so long as the grant amount is administered
by a single individual, and the funds are deposited in a single bank
account in the name of an individual.

Hi all, I am happy to announce the beta release of IndiWord (http://www.indiword.com) an online indic editor. It automatically inverse transliterates the text as you type it. It supports many input modes including ITRANS, InScript, RTS. It seamlessly integrates unlimited undo/redo feature hiding the internals of inverse transliteration. You can also convert text from one indic language to another phonetically. It tries to find nearest phonetically matching letter in case the target language does not have the letter being converted. Features slated to be supported (in no particular order) are rich text editing, search and replace text, spellchecking, user accounts to save and share documents. Currently it is only tested on IE 6.0 and Firefox. A modified version of mediawiki that integrates the editor is available at http://en.indiwiki.org and http://te.indiwiki.org Please give it a try and I am open to comments and suggestions. cheers, Krishna Mohan. |

Hi, This was an idea sometime back to create a simple interface (cli, gui & web) to have a font conversion utility.. combining all existing foss convertors.. where basically the different convertors written in perl/C/python/php could be used to convert from font to unicode & vice versa.. this could be inthe form of command line tool, and with a simple gui (gtk/qt) & also for web gateways.. to have a single point solution for conversion & a standalone tool for conversion. some bits are collected here for available stuff http://www.indlinux.org/wiki/index.php/FontConvertors please add to it..

SOUTH AFRICAN LANGUAGE INNOVATORS WIN TOP AFRICAN ICT AWARD FOR BRIDGING THE DIGITAL DIVIDE. Translate.org.za has won the prestigious African ICT Achiever 2006 Award for bridging the digital divide in Africa by breaking down the language barrier! An ecstatic Dwayne Bailey, Founder of Translate.org.za said, "Finally, after years of hard work promoting the importance of mother tongue languages in ICTs it is fitting that language has been recognised as a critical part of the digital divide in the same year the African Union celebrates the year of African languages." Bailey added, "We hope this will lead to more localisation within South Africa and across the continent as we look forward to helping others to make similar achievements in their countries." Translate.org.za's work has included the translation of computer software into the 11 official languages of South Africa using locally based translators; and more recently the creation of the first all-South African language keyboard =96 a world first! "This is the first African's-helping-Africans, no strings attached Free Software. It has always been my dream that one day fellow South Africans would be using computers in their mother tongues," said Bailey. The NGO intervenes whenever technology becomes a barrier to language. For example, Venda, one of the official languages of South Africa, cannot be accurately typed on a computer. The result being that Venda speakers are unable to type their own names correctly. Therefore, one can only wonder how their names have been typed on their birth certificates. Using Translate.org.za's keyboard means Venda can for the first time be typed accurately along with all the other official languages including Afrikaans and to a lesser extent Northern Sotho and Tswana. Translate has also made spell checkers from Afrikaans all the way to Zulu! This means people in South Africa no longer have to suffer the indignity of their language being underlined in red by an ignorant teacher. Abe Mathibela, Business Development Manager at Translate.org.za, and a mother tongue Sesotho speaker said, "This recognition makes me very, very happy. It's a breakthrough, as now the common myths and fallacies that we cannot have computers in our languages have been bridged. There are a whole lot of things that can now happen across Africa to challenge the exclusion of African languages." On the African continent as well as world-wide, Translate.org.za has provided help and support to other passionate people wanting to start similar initiatives for their mother tongue. Now through the WordForge Foundation, of which Translate.org.za is a founding partner, they continue to help other both in Africa and the rest of the world. Supporters of Translate.org.za include Obsidian Systems, The Shuttleworth Foundation, St James Software, Hewlett-Packard South Africa, the Department of Communication and the CSIR.

Hi all, I am updating the status map on Indic localization as available here - http://www.indlinux.org/doc/status06.html Please check status for your respective languages and update for changes to make..=20 Current languages included (major) - Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Punjabi, Oriya, Tamil, Telugu, Urdu. minor languages (no or little l10n) - Manipuri, Sanskrit... & maybe rest of the langs mentioned in the constitution list of 22 scheduled languages. A seperate chart could be made for these. There are couple of fields 'website' & 'list' basically to indicate whether there is a central team website/wiki/portal for activities for that language and if a public mailing list or discussion group exists. the color is a rough indicator of list traffic.. yellow meaning low volume..(less than 30mails pm). Feedback on platform status matrix also welcome http://www.indlinux.org/doc/l10n_plat.html (this one is heavily outdated!).. It (will) show(s) whether a language is officially supported / or if lang packs or packages for it are available in the released versions. suggestions welcome.

Hi, FOSS.IN/2006 (http://www.foss.in/2006) is around, 24-26 Nov in Bangalore. There are couple of talks related to Indic & L10n. I will be taking a small Indic computing workshop.. oriented towards making audience aware of i18n/l10n process and how to get into localization activities. The other talk being "janabhaaratii: Localisation of Free/Open Source Software by Priti Patil" . The Indic workshop will orient towards the technical basics of writing i18nized applications in C/Python using gettext, Localizing FOSS applications, localization for the web, using tools for content creations, making Indic websites etc. Towards the end a current status report will be given. I will also talk breifly about some tasks or TODO activities for which we need volunteers. Ideas on this (task list etc) welcome. At the Expo one plan is to have a stall with 2-3 PCs with Indic demos setup... apart from also running a entrans/pootle server, so translation some small applications can be tried out. basically to see how good the response is. If we have enough ppl around.. then maybe there could be a Indic BoF too.

Hi folks, One of my friends is developing web-pages (on a voluntary basis) for ILO (International Labour Organization); he had done them in English and is looking for help in doing them in Kannada. If one of you can do it or know someone who can do it (php/mysql knowledge would be needed in addition to Englist->Kannada translation skills and content development skills), pls let me know immediately. This is most probably a voluntary job. TIA cheers, Nagarajan ____________________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

I am not familiar with speech synthesis, although me and my friend did play with voice samples, we did not find time to dig deeper. There are different synthesis methods and may be in some of these methods this particular representation helps. Frankly, I don't know. May be Chaitanya Kamisetty will voice his opinion. I will say this much. If Beejnaagri has no significant advantage over standardized unicode text representation schemes, it is better to be used as an internal representation (may be piping unicode text through a beejnaagri module before sending to TTS). regards, Krishna Mohan. |

I had made Beejnaagri not only keeping compression in mind but also a TTS. I believe it would be easy to design a TTS from scratch for a beejnaagri encoded text because it is `natural' and conforms to the phonetic nature of Indic scripts. Please comment. Also, I would include ZWNJ and ZWJ as part of Beejnaagri. Best regards Sandeep |

Beejnaagri is a Unicode Transformation Fromat (UTF) for Devanagari. It is a 12-bit encoding technique which encodes akshars rather than swar, vyanjan and maatra separately. Beejnaagri is expected to compress Devanagri text by 50-60% over UTF-8. A similar technique can be applied to other Indic scripts. BeejU8 v0.1 demonstrates the conversion between Beejnaagri and UTF-8. It requires *nix environment. It has been tested on Ubuntu 6.06 with very good results. Please visit http://beejnaagri.sourceforge.net/ . It would be highly=20 appreciated if you can comment on Beejnaagri and test BeejU8 on your=20 systems and provide your valuable feedback.
