Dear Bangalore Community
I'm
writing to inform you that I plan to leave my current role
supporting Wikimedia in India. I am going to be exploring
opportunities and evaluating options that are closer to my
career aspirations and my personal circumstances. I will be
working through to ensure that there is a smooth transition -
and this is likely to take 2-3 months. I am writing now because
I felt it appropriate and opportune to inform you as early as
possible.
I want
to start off by thanking the Wikimedia community and movement
for giving me this extraordinary opportunity. Working on
something like India Program has been something that has been
professionally enriching and personally fulfilling. Over the
past 1 1/2 years, I have been supported by so many of you - and
I want to thank you for everything you have done! The passion
and intellectual firepower of our community has been my constant
source of drive and guidance. There are so many examples of
powerful stories from all over the country: the incredible
efforts put in by the IEP Campus Ambassadors in Pune; the army
of volunteers that drove the outreach push across the country in
the first few months of this year; the beautiful stories of
fantastic community initiatives from far and wide across the
country and sub-continent, and indeed the world; the remarkable
stories from so many communities - large, small and tiny ones!
I want
to thank the team that I have had the pleasure and privilege of
working with - Nitika, Noopur, Shiju & Subha. You guys have
been wonderful. The work that we are doing is experimental and
we have been innovating every day, and I know the circumstances
have not always been easy. Take strength and inspiration from
the large number of community members who have been touched by
you and appreciate your efforts and value your work.
I will
send an actual "over and out" message later. In the meantime, I
will continue to work on everything that needs working on.
Happy
Editing!
Warmest
Regards,
