Hi All,
As all of you are aware, the steward elections ( http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Stewards/elections_2010) got over on Februray. Many of you might have cast your votes during this elections. The results are declared today.
I am extremely happy to inform all that, one of our colleague *Jyothis*http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Jyothis(He is an active Malayalam Wikipedian), has been elected as a steward ( http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Stewards/elections_2010). He has received the *second maximum percentage of votes* among all the candidates who contested for the steward post. *I assume that he is first Indian language wikipedian elected to that post/usergroup. *
For those who are not aware what is a steward is, the below definition from MetaWiki will help.
Stewards are users with complete access to the wiki interface on all Wikimedia wikis, including the ability to change any and all user rights and groups. They are tasked with technical implementation of community consensus, and dealing with emergencies (for example, cross-wiki vandalism). Stewards aim to make no decisions as stewards, but are empowered to act as a member of any permissions group on any project with no active member of that permissions group. For example: wikis without administrators may call upon stewards to fulfill that role; stewards will act as a bureaucrat as needed on wikis without bureaucrats.
As mentioned in his profilehttp://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Stewards/elections_2010/votes/Jyothis, he can speak 5 languages (Malayalam http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malayalam(his mother tongue), Tamil http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamil_language, Kannadahttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kannada_language, Hindi http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindi, and English) and read and write 3 languages (Malayalam, English, and Hindi).
As an Indian language wikian, he will be able to understand the technical problems that we face in Indic langauge wikis. He can surely support most of the Indian language Wikis.
I am extremely happy about the percentage of votes Jyothis recived, since rest of the wikians started noticing contributions from non-latin language wikis.
I wish him all the success.

Hi Jyothis,
Congratulations! This is a *commendable* accomplishment.
Hopefully this will inspire more wikipedians from India to take up more governance roles in Wikipedia.
Best wishes and regards
Arun
