Re: [Wikimedia-l] (Announcement) CIS-A2K Program Director Transition

2015-03-11 Thread Arjuna Rao Chavala
Hi,

Thanks Subhashish for the update.

Thank you   Vishnu, for your leadership of CIS-A2K team over the past two
years  in growing the Wikipedia movement across India in various languages.
It is not an easy job to work in the open wikimedia movement as a staff
member of NGO funded by Foundation. I am happy that various language
wikipedias got some dedicated resources to support the movement and have
seen some impact for which some of the credit certainly goes to you and
your team. An example of the growth of  Telugu wikipedia can be seen on my
Telugu blogpost[1].

I am sorry to hear that you are leaving the role, as it really takes  a
long time to develop  good understanding of the wiki movement and that
knowledge can't be passed on easily.  I hope that the CIS-A2K uses the
opportunity to reflect and plan for the future to improve the effectiveness
of the engagement even further.

I wish Vishnu and CIS-A2K team all the best.

Cheers
Arjuna Rao Chavala

As many of you know, Vishnu has led the A2K Programme since February 2013.
 We at CIS are working with Vishnu and the rest of the A2K team to ensure
 smooth transition so that the momentum of the A2K program does not lose
 pace.

Dear Wikimedians,

This is to bring to your notice the proposed change in leadership of the 
CIS-A2K Program. The current Program Director, T. Vishnu Vardhan will be 
transitioning by June 2015, due to health and personal concerns.


As many of you know, Vishnu has led the A2K Programme since February 
2013. We at CIS are working with Vishnu and the rest of the A2K team to 
ensure smooth transition so that the momentum of the A2K program does 
not lose pace.


We will soon be putting out an Advertisement for the next CIS-A2K 
Program Director and will involve the community members and the 
Wikimedia India in the selection process.


Best regards,
