[Wikimedia-l] Re: Announcing an academic conference on Wikipedia translation

[Rajeeb]

Dear friends and colleagues,

Hope my mail finds you all in the best of health and spirit. It is good
news that the conference is happening and not put off due to the pandemic,
I would like to thank the organizers for taking the conference to 100%
online.

Though not happy as one needs to pay for the registration fee especially
when the event is online and due to pandemic people are and have lost jobs.

I would like to request the organizers to give a thought on this matter.

Namaste,

Rajeeb.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] COVID-19 second wave and protection of our most valuable movement asset

[Rajeeb]

Hello everyone,

Hope my mail finds you all in the best of health and spirits. I like to
thank Tito and Bodhi for coming up with this initiative and starting the
conversation. Now, WMF has permitted CIS-A2K to allot funds to reimburse
vaccines, send COVID protection kits and provide counselling for Wikimedia
volunteers in India.
A noble initiative for humanity has begun and I am sure the days are not
too far where we all will be healthy and happy with our families, relatives
and friends.

Last but not the least, I am always there for my Wiki Community, for
anything and everything, anyone wants to speak with me, please feel free to
contact me.

Wishing everyone and their families a healthy and happy life.

Namaste,

Rajeeb.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Farewell video for Katherine Maher

[Rajeeb]

Hello Nadee,

This is a Rajeeb (Username: Marajozkee) I am sending you a "Farewell
Katherine Song", written and sung by me, I hereby attach the audio file. I
am sorry I can't record a video, so, I request you to use the song as
wherever you feel right, maybe on the background of a video or something
like that.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Namaste,
Rajeeb.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Thank you + see you around!

[Rajeeb]

Dear Katherine,

It’s always hard to say goodbye, only one thing I can say, Wikimedia
projects won’t be the same without you. I wish you all the best in your new
beginning and as you said, “See you 'round the wikis!”

Namaste,

Rajeeb.
