 I am really pleased and excited to announce that Subhashish Panigrahi
 has agreed to join as Consultant, Community  Program Support.

 Some of you might know Subhashish (or Subha as he's also called.) He
 is all of 23 and a wonderful Wikimedian from Odisha.  He has a BE in
 Biotechnology from Sapthagiri College of Engineering, Bangalore.  He has
 worked for about 1 1/2 years in business development and is currently 
 based
 in Bangalore.  He's been an active Wikimedian since a friend of his
 attended a Wikipedia 10th event in Bangalore in January and told Subha
 about Wikipedia.  Subha then spent considerable time - quite a bit of it 
 in
 Shiju Alex's living room apparently :-) - learning about Wikipedia.  Since
 then, he's been on fire!  He's helped the Bangalore community organise the
 monthly meet-ups, been a central figure in building community  momentum
 for Odia Wikipedia and has conducted outreach programs for Odia projects
 back home in Odisha as well as in Bangalore. He's also been helping out
 other projects and communities; a couple of weekends ago he was in Chennai
 conducting a WikiAcademy there.  He is a fantastically inspiring example 
 of
 a complete outsider being welcomed into the family, having his hand held 
 in
 his growth as a newbie, charging forward taking responsibility  ownership
 and then spreading his skills  knowledge to others. He is also one of the
 sweetest human beings I have ever met. He is a perfect example of the
 Wikimedia Dream.

 His interests (outside of Wikimedia) are cooking, graphic design and
 handwriting analysis.  (I bet most of you who know Subha don't know that
 last bit about him.  So the next time you see him, show him your writing
 and get him to reveal your deep dark secrets!)  He has also been
 involved with campaigns for social work during the floods and cholera
 outbreak in Odisha and been involved with a Odisha community organisation,
 eOdissa.com http://eodissa.com/.

 Originally, the Consultant, Team Support position (
 http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_-_India_Programs#Team_Structure)
  was
 to manage the back-end aspects of India Programs (basic accounting, basic
 personnel management, office administration, travel support, expense
 statement management, logistics support for the community, etc.) I have
 been looking at the actual work load involved and I do not think this is a
 full time role.  The functions listed are essential and need to be done -
 but there is an opportunity to improve the richness of the position and
 it's value to the community.  I'm therefore proposing that the Consultant,
 Team Support be redesignated to Consultant, Community  Program

[Wikimediaindia-l] Welcoming Subhashish Panigrahi

2011-12-22 Thread Hisham
Hi Folks, 

As you might be aware, the Consultant, Team Support position is to be filled as 
part of the India Programs team.  
(http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimediaindia-l/2011-September/004251.html.)
  

I am really pleased and excited to announce that Subhashish Panigrahi has 
agreed to join as Consultant, Community  Program Support.  

Some of you might know Subhashish (or Subha as he's also called.) He is all of 
23 and a wonderful Wikimedian from Odisha.  He has a BE in Biotechnology from

redesignated to Consultant, Community  Program Support.   I envisage this 
position to have about 1/3 of time spent on the back-end work listed above but 
2/3 of time can be very productively utilised supporting community efforts - 
such as helping community building  outreach and supporting community-led 
initiatives.  An important consideration I have for this redesignation is after 
looking at the specific skills that Subha brings to the table; I want to make 
sure that he has the required space to realise his potential and to support the 
community and movement.

Subha will of course continue to pursue his personal voluntary work for and as 
part of the Wikimedia community.  The one question that he emphasized during 
the selection process was whether he would retain the flexibility to continue 
to pursue his personal passions on Wikimedia; the answer he got was a loud 
Y-E-S!!!  :-)  I'm delighted to have another community member joining the team.

He'll formally start in Delhi on January 9th 2012.

Do join me in welcoming him.

Warmest Regards,

hisham

 Hi Folks,

 As you might be aware, the Consultant, Team Support position is to be
 filled as part of the India Programs team.  (
 http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimediaindia-l/2011-September/004251.html.)


 I am really pleased and excited to announce that Subhashish Panigrahi has
 agreed to join as Consultant, Community  Program Support.

 Some of you might know Subhashish (or Subha as he's also called.) He is
 all of 23 and a wonderful Wikimedian from Odisha.  He has a BE in
 Biotechnology from Sapthagiri College of Engineering, Bangalore.  He has
 worked for about 1 1/2 years in business development and is currently based
 in Bangalore.  He's been an active Wikimedian since a friend of his
 attended a Wikipedia 10th event in Bangalore in January and told Subha
 about Wikipedia.  Subha then spent considerable time - quite a bit of it in
 Shiju Alex's living room apparently :-) - learning about Wikipedia.  Since
 then, he's been on fire!  He's helped the Bangalore community organise the
 monthly meet-ups, been a central figure in building community  momentum
 for Odia Wikipedia and has conducted outreach programs for Odia projects
 back home in Odisha as well as in Bangalore. He's also been helping out
 other projects and communities; a couple of weekends ago he was in Chennai
 conducting a WikiAcademy there.  He is a fantastically inspiring example of
 a complete outsider being welcomed into the family, having his hand held in
 his growth as a newbie, charging forward taking responsibility  ownership
 and then spreading his skills  knowledge to others. He is also one of the
 sweetest human beings I have ever met. He is a perfect example of the
 Wikimedia Dream.

 His interests (outside of Wikimedia) are cooking, graphic design and
 handwriting analysis.  (I bet most of you who know Subha don't know that
 last bit about him.  So the next time you see him, show him your writing
 and get him to reveal your deep dark secrets!)  He has also been involved
 with campaigns for social work during the floods and cholera outbreak in
 Odisha and been involved with a Odisha community organisation, 
 eOdissa.comhttp://eodissa.com/
 .

 Originally, the Consultant, Team Support position (
 http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_-_India_Programs#Team_Structure)
  was
 to manage the back-end aspects of India Programs (basic accounting, basic
 personnel management, office administration, travel support, expense
 statement management, logistics support for the community, etc.) I have
 been looking at the actual work load involved and I do not think this is a
 full time role.  The functions listed are essential and need to be done -
 but there is an opportunity to improve the richness of the position and
 it's value to the community.  I'm therefore proposing that the Consultant,
 Team Support be redesignated to Consultant, Community  Program Support.
 I envisage this position to have about 1/3 of time spent on the back-end
 work listed above but 2/3 of time can be very productively utilised
 supporting community efforts - such as helping community building 
 outreach and supporting community-led initiatives.  An important
 consideration I have for this redesignation is after looking at the
 specific skills that Subha brings to the table; I want to make sure that he
 has the required space to realise his potential and to support the
 community and movement.

 Subha will of course continue to pursue his personal voluntary work for
 and as part of the Wikimedia community.  The one question that he
 emphasized during the selection process was whether he would retain the
 flexibility to continue to pursue his personal passions on Wikimedia; the
 answer he got was a loud Y-E-S!!!  :-)  I'm delighted to have another
 community member joining the team.

 He'll formally start in Delhi on January 9th 2012.

 Do join me in welcoming him.

 Warmest Regards,

 hisham
