What do you mean by this? I Shiju Alex is a Indic language wikipedian now close to 6 years. According to Mr. Anirudh (an EC member of India chapter) I am a former volunteer. is this is the official position of wikimedia India chapter? As a community member I require an explanation for this.
Dear Shiju & subha,
Both of you need to differentiate between paid and volunteered works. you can still volunteer for many things in your individual capacity . Only two of you need to define which one is a part of job and which one is in your volunteer capacities. I think India programme reports only need to highlight the official part more clearly with specific involvement. Volunteering can go as a part of community/chapter reports .
Hope it is clear now
