Again, this is a sound idea. Having multiple groups of individuals who
can receive input, categorize them, document the problems and
solutions and, effectively amplify the highs and lows of the Indic
experience on WMF sites is a good step.

At some point I'd like to understand more about the plans to identify
these individuals, the training they will receive (which, as you
pointed out earlier, would be Pavanaja's goal) and, how would one
measure the effectiveness of the Ambassadors and, the effort as a
whole.

During GNUnify 2013 in February you mentioned that the A2K program was
having a lot of ideas which were at that point nebulous. Now that
there seems to be a structured roll-out, in terms of organization
staffing and, initiative plans, it would good to understand the
objectives for 2013/2014.

Dear Anirudh,

This announcement was sent out in the CIS main Newsletter in January. Due
to oversight it was not included in the A2K Newsletter, which gets posted
to WMI mailing list along with few other language and city mailing lists.
We are deeply apologetic for this slip-up and will ensure that this does
not get repeated in the future.

Thank you for your understanding.

Best regards,
Vishnu

Right now all the positions are filled as per the the contract CIS has with
WMF. Unless and until any one of us leaves the A2K team, we will not be
planning on any fresh recruitment. Should there be any such developments
will surely let you and other friends on the list know.

Have a good day!

Warmly,
Vishnu

Dear Pradeep,

Only the A2K Newsletter goes to the WMI and various other mailing lists and
not the overall CIS Newsletter (in which this was announced). As mentioned
earlier, there was an oversight on our part to not have included this in
the January Bulletin. Apologies again. We will ensure not to repeat this.

Warmly,
Vishnu

announcement was sent out in the CIS main Bulletin to various mailing lists in

These look fantastic. I'm assuming that these tie in with the plans
you had posted (under the pseudonym, during the election phase).

Can I impose on your graciousness and ask a bit more about the Online
Ambassadors for Indic Language Wikipedia?

[Vishnu t]

Dear Sankarshan,

Thank you for your wishes. Pavanaja has joined the CIS-A2K team as the
Programme Officer, which was left vacant by Shiju Alex few months ago. He
will be a key point of contact for the expansion and growth of Kannada
Wikipedia within the team. We are glad to have his huge network and
experience that would immensely benefit Kannada Wikipedia. In addition to
this his job profile would include the following:

• Design & assist in the roll-out PR / digital outreach
plan(s) to promote Indic language readers & readership

• Design & roll-out PR/on-ground outreach plan(s) to
promote Indic language editors and contribution

• Assist WMF in rolling out and training the Online
Ambassadors for Indic language Wikipedia.

• Co-ordinate with WMF to provide technical solutions
to resolve current (& potential) issues on Indic languages

• Providing ad hoc support to the Community on all
aspects of Indic languages as may be deemed necessary.

• Any other services as required by your supervisor
(Programme Director – A2K Programme) and the Executive Director of CIS in
connection with the grant from Wikimedia Foundation.


Best regards,

Vishnu

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] [A2K]: Introducing Dr. U.B Pavanaja, Consultant - Indian languages

[Pradeep Mohandas]

hi,

Welcome Pavanaja. All the best in your endeavours!

I was just curious to know if there was an ad for recruitment for this post on 
the list for this position or not. I could not find the ad herein. If someone 
who has a link to that post, please share.

warm regards,
Pradeep Mohandas

Subject: [Wikimediaindia-l] [A2K]: Introducing Dr. U.B Pavanaja, Consultant - 
Indian languages
 

Dear all,
I take immense pleasure in (re)introducing Dr. U.B Pavanaja to the entire 
Wikimedia community! Dr. Pavanaja has joined the Access to Knowledge team at 
CIS as a consultant from March 4 onward. Those associated with Indian language 
computing and especially that in Kannada may know him already for having 
started the first Kannada website: Vishvakannada.com, the first Kannada online 
magazine, the first Indian language (Kannada) website to receive Golden Web 
Award, the first Indian language (Kannada) editor for Palm OS and many more 
firsts.
Dr. Pavanaja holds a Master’s degree from Mysore University and Ph.D. from 
Mumbai University. He was a scientist at the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, 
Mumbai, for about 15 years and has done advanced research in Taiwan. He 
resigned from BARC in 1997 and dedicated himself fully for the cause of 
Computer and Indian languages. You could read more about his contributions 
here. Prior to this he has also worked at Microsoft Research Labs and has been 
a long time contributor to Kannada Wikipedia.
We are very fortunate to have him on board. You can reach him at pavanaja [at] 
cis-india [dot] org. Please join me in welcoming him to our community :)
Thank you,
Noopur

This is good news. What would be the areas on which Dr Pavanaja is
expected to provide guidance?
