IMLD is one week away

[Rob Weir <ro...@apache.org>]

I think we agreed to do something for International Mother Language
Day.  It is coming up just a week from now, February 21st.  So time is
nearly out.

We have a logo from Robin that we can use on the homepage.  I can take
the task to get that onto the website the day before, we we cover the
21st in all time zones.

Was Khan going to draft a blog post?  If so it would be good to have
that very soon, so we can review.

Anything else?

["Khan Md. Anwarus Salam" <km...@gmail.com>]

Here is the draft history of IMLD. It can be the starting point for the
blog:

February 21 was declared as International Mother Language Day by UNESCO.
But do you know about the History of International Mother Language Day? Why
February 21 was chosen?* International Mother Language Day originated as
the international recognition of Language Movement Day, which has been
commemorated in Bangladesh (formerly East Pakistan) since 1952, when a
number of Dhaka university students were killed by the Pakistani police and
army in Dhaka during the Bengali Language Movement. This is the only event
where people give their lives to keep the independence of using their
mother language. * To remember them there is a monument named Language
Martyr's Monument (Shahid Minar) in Dhaka University, Bangladesh. Every
year more than a million people give flowers there. This is a big event in
Bangladesh. Many foreigners visit Bangladesh just to experience the way of
Bangladeshi people give respect to those brave hearts. In every town of
Bangladesh has Language Martyr's Monument, where local people gives
flowers. Language Martyr's Monument is also built in Ikebukoro park of
Tokyo- Japan. There are more than one Language Martyr's Monument in USA,
UK, Italy and many other countries. Please think about your Mother Language
not only in February 21 but also in other days.

With Best Regards,
Khan Md. Anwarus Salam
