Dear Wikimedians,
This is my last day as the CIS-A2K Program Director.
The last 2 years and 3 months have been immensely exciting with tons of learning and work!
I have loved meeting many Wikimedians, face to face, across the length and breadth of India. The interactions I had with many of the Wikimedians in India have been immensely useful to my learning.
The diversity of our community and the Wikimedia projects in India is so rich and intricate - I wish I could map out my entire set of impressions, to only give a slight glimpse of it!!
Signing off as the Program Director for now. See you on-wiki, here on the lists and in real life whenever our paths cross.
A quick update: The next A2K Program Director selection is under process and hopefully we should all be able to welcome the new incumbent in June, 2015. Until then the A2K team is being internally monitored by CIS leadership.
Best wishes, Vishnu
Vishnu,
Thank you for the update.
Thank you for all you have brought to this movement. As A2K Program Director, you have contributed tremendously and have engaged with incredible energy, dedication, and passion. I will miss working with you.
Be well, and take care.
Katy

Dear Vishnu,
Thank you for everything you have done for free knowledge in your time with CIS-A2K. You have always modelled a mature and professional approach to the work and to engagement with our communities, never at the expense of warmth, sympathy, and genuine interest in what volunteers care about and aspire to. All jobs in the Wikimedia world are complex, but you came in to a particularly complex ecosystem, with multiple stakeholders, many different communities, and not a little bit of baggage and history, not all of it helpful. :)
Your integrity and hard work inspired all around you, and paved the way to great improvements in communications, community and inter-organizational relations, and, of course, programmatic impact.
You will certainly be missed.
Asaf
P.S. We are yet to have our friendly hot-spicy-food competition. :) It's a small world.
