[edit]Notes
[edit]- Universal Code of Conduct

- Youngjin Ko
- Grants Process
- Yop Rwang Pam introduced upcoming grant call (due October 2021) and offered assistance to discuss proposals
- Jacqueline Chen, WMF (email: jchen (at) wikimedia.org) joining from Singapore, introduced herself and ESEAP regional grants committee.

- Charter Drafting Committee
- Ramzy reminded ESEAP region of the deadline for the committee nominations is 14 Sep 2021 (11.59 anywhere on earth) and encouraged nominations from ESEAP
- Wikisource
- Jayanta Nath presented "Best practices of the Indic Wikisource community"
- Ideally, Wikisource works like this: Get a scanned book > Upload on Commons > Transcribe the text on Wikisource > Export to read on E-readers. But sometimes, people directly copy paste texts (novels, stories, anything) from other websites. Rather than going through the ideal way. Scans are important because they serve as a reference on Wikisource.

- Tom and Leo raised issues of minority languages/scripts in ESEAP region that are missing from Wikisource
- Possible grant proposal for ESEAP region - identify missing or poor OCR from our region, and request partners to assist.
- Leo suggests: I think the best thing we can do is to build up a labelled dataset and open source it, perhaps start a competition, research isn't necessarily Wiki community's strongest suit
- Wikisource - the Essential Infrastructure
