Dear All,
I am pleased to announce that Noopur Raval ([User:Noopur28] has been selected as Consultant to the Wikimedia Foundation, and will support Communications for India Program.
This position will perform 4 key functions. Firstly, it will support communications with our community. This involves a regular set of updates (such as newsletters) as well as specific communication projects such as story-telling of local community initiatives (to document experiences, celebrate successes and cross-pollinate ideas.) This is not for day-to-day program communications - which is a core part of each of our responsibilities in the India Program team. Second will be to support media & PR for local community initiatives. The single biggest challenge here will to be get more Indic language media coverage to support community building efforts. This will be done directly with community members and also in co-ordination with the India Chapter's Communications Media & PR team. The third aspect is to build and expand existing community social networks (such as WikimediaIndia on facebook) and to help with the use of social networks to support community building. Lastly, there is untapped potential of using digital outreach - to augment existing physical outreach efforts. We need to (very, very carefully) explore if we can reach out to our large and growing reader base and inform, encourage and enable them to become editors using online channels and resources.
Noopur is a community member and has supported outreach activities (in Ahmedabad & Delhi), is a member of Delhi SIG of the Chapter, has participated in community collaborations like Collaboration of the Month and has been actively trying to start GLAM in India.
Noopur is from Gandhinagar and is graduating from JNU with a Master's in Arts & Aesthetics. She has a triple honors Bachelor's in Media Studies, Literature and Psychology from Christ College, Bangalore. She has interned with Radio Mirchi, Times of India and the Centre for Internet & Society (amongst others) - as well as done some teaching assignments. She is an active blogger (including for the India Art Summit, 2011.) She has published a novella and co-authored an anthology of poems, plays & short stories and has co-presented a paper on "Wikiwars" with [User:Srikeit.] She is also an amateur photographer and has contributed to Commons as well as other platforms.
The Communications position has taken a long time to fill. The initial call for selection was in September. I reported back to the community in December that I had failed to find the right candidate and hence the delay. There were a number of deserving candidates and this selection has taken time because of the need to find the most suitable profile for a complex role. This role requires the right mix of an academic foundation in communications, domain expertise as well as adequate familiarity with our community. It also requires adaptability and strong learning skills - because so much of what we are trying to do is pioneering. I am confident that she brings the right level of experience and competencies - and I'm very excited by the opportunity of making a step jump in the impact of communications for our community.
Do join me in welcoming Noopur. She will start on March 12 and will be based in New Delhi.

I reported back to the community in December<
http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimediaindia-l/2011-December/006055.h...
that I had failed to find the right candidate and hence the delay. There were a number of deserving candidates and this selection has taken time
because
of the need to find the most suitable profile for a complex role. This role requires the right mix of an academic foundation in communications, domain expertise as well as adequate familiarity with our community. It also requires adaptability and strong learning skills - because so much of what we are trying to do is pioneering. I am confident that she brings the right level of experience and competencies - and I'm very excited by the opportunity of making a step jump in the impact of communications for our community.
Do join me in welcoming Noopur. She will start on March 12 and will
be
based in New Delhi.

Dear All,
I am pleased to announce that Noopur Raval ([User:Noopur28http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Noopur28] has been selected as Consultant to the Wikimedia Foundationhttp://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Home, and will support Communications for India Programhttp://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/India_Program.
This position will perform 4 key functions. Firstly, it will support communications with our community. This involves a regular set of updates (such as newsletters) as well as specific communication projects
such as
story-telling of local community initiatives (to document
experiences,
celebrate successes and cross-pollinate ideas.) This is *not* for day-to-day program communications - which is a core part of each of
our
responsibilities in the India Program team. Second will be to
support
media & PR for local community initiatives. The single biggest challenge here will to be get more Indic language media coverage to support community building efforts. This will be done directly with community members
and
also in co-ordination with the India Chapter <http://wikimedia.in/
's
Communications Media & PR team http://members.wikimedia.in/Communications. The third aspect is to build and expand existing community social
networks
(such as WikimediaIndia http://www.facebook.com/WikimediaIndia on facebook) and to help with the use of social networks to support community building. Lastly, there is untapped potential of using digital
outreach
to augment existing physical outreach efforts. We need to (very,
very
carefully) explore if we can reach out to our large and growing
reader
base and inform, encourage and enable them to become editors using online channels and resources.
Noopur is a community member and has supported outreach activities
(in
Ahmedabad<
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Takes_Ahmedabad%3E
& Delhi <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Delhi/Delhi6
),
is a member of Delhi SIG<
http://members.wikimedia.in/City_and_Language_Special_Interest_Groups%3E
of the Chapter, has participated in community collaborations like Collaboration of the Month http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:INCOTM and has been actively trying to start GLAMhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Glam in India.
Noopur is from Gandhinagar <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gandhinagar
and is graduating from JNUhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jawaharlal_Nehru_University with a Master's in Arts & Aesthetics. She has a triple honors Bachelor's in Media Studies, Literature and Psychology from Christ College, Bangalore http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christ_College,_Bangalore. She has interned with Radio Mirchi, Times of India and the Centre
for
Internet & Society (amongst others) - as well as done some teaching assignments. She is an active blogger (including for the India Art Summit, 2011.) She has published a novella and co-authored an anthology of poems, plays & short stories and has co-presented a paper on "Wikiwars" with [User:Srikeit.] She is also an amateur photographer and has
contributed
to Commons<
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Noopur28%3E
as well as other platforms.
The Communications position has taken a long time to fill. The
initial
call for selection was in September<
