Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Fwd: Leaving the Wikimedia Foundation

When a humble tiny group of Wikipedia users pondered upon an annual get-together added with some spice of outreach possibilities, we did not hope or expect that some one from Wikimedia Global Foundation will turn up there even with a terribly hectic schedule on a world itinerary at his hand. Our imaginations were perhaps too little. But to our dismay, somebody took all interests on his own to make it a point to reach the venue at the right instant when a voice from our global existence was absolutely in need in front of a rather uneducated (about Wikimedia) media and public. His arrival, short address, interactions and interviews went a long way in taking the Wikisangamotsavam 2012<http://ml.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%B4%B5%E0%B4%BF%E0%B4%95%E0%B5%8D%E… held at Kollam during this April. Besides assuring the guest participants at the function, it also launched a series of mentions and reflections of the program and community at various forums and web spaces. That was Barry Newstead, complete with his enchanting smile and entertaining mind and energetic spirits! Thank you! Your leaving Wikimedia now, makes us speechless.... Thank you for being there in Wikipedia and making a mark of it for ever. And best wishes for all success in your future endeavors!
