Thank you for posting this, Jessie.

Dear friends from the Brazilian community,

It would be wonderful if you could come forward and leave your unbiased and unfettered commentary on the page/talk page for us folks in India to review. I am very curious and wish to learn more about the Brazilian experience. :)

Best regards,

anirudh

oi! Please excuse the english - hopefully Google Translate will work just fine!

One thing I just noticed in the FAQ on meta is a shout-out to Brazil: *"CIS will hire a programme director for the work. The recruitment process will draw on the best practices Wikimedia used in Brazil and incorporate active community participation in the process. They will share more info on this soon."*

While I'm glad to know that they are going to be more transparent and community driven in India, I also want to make sure they have the chance to IMPROVE the process we used in Brazil in the hiring of Oona Castro.

I am going to write up a page summarizing the work on br.wikimedia, and then move it over to meta for reference sake. Would anyone like to help construct it? The page has to be in English, but it would be great to get a lot of comments on the comment page *with your reflections on the hiring process, *and these are more than welcome to be in Portuguese*. *I will leave a few questions on it to jog your memories a bit, but feel free to write about anything:

Pessoal Compartilhando aqui: o programa da Índia está passando por mudanças.

Vejam o post abaixo.

Foi coincidência (não só o post diz, mas meu amigo do CIS-India tb disse o mesmo), mas nos próximos meses o diretor de lá, Hisham, sairá do programa e o CIS-Índia vai tocar em parceria com a WMF o programa de lá. Eu conheço a http://cis-india.org/ dos tempos de CTS e Overmundo e eram bons parceiros em projetos internacionais. Sei que eles já estavam trabalhando com o escritório da Índia e sei que são da comunidade de cultura e software livres. Espero que a nova fase do programa seja exitosa e implemente mudanças positivas na relação com o capítulo local.

Na torcida. Aí vai o post

Abraços Oona

Hi, Anirudh.

No need to ask for unbiased and unfettered comments. Brazilians are always like that.

So I've come to learn!

I liked the particle ideas and we should include the Higgs boson this time. :)

How are you doing? Welcome to Wikimedia Brasil mailing list.

thank you!
