Subject: [Wikimediaindia-l] Farewell from the Centre for Internet and
Society
To: Wikimedia India Community list <wikimediaindia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Dear Wikimedians and friends,
As some of you might already know that I have left from my position of
Community Advocate at the Centre for Internet and Society. My last working
month with CIS was June 2019. I am taking a breaking from professional work
to focus on my higher studies. I joined CIS-A2K when I was on my first year
of the college and now I have recently graduated as a Mechanical engineer
:D
My journey with the CIS-A2K in the last 3 and half years were great, I had
opportunity to work closely with Odia and Santali community, and also had
opportunities to collaborate with many Indic Wikimedians on different
projects. I also got to meet many of you during various national and
international conferences.
I would like to thank everyone in the movement for all their support and
love they have given to me, especially to my team at the CIS-A2K and the
Odia Wikimedia community. I worked under both Tanveer and Tito, they were
always supportive and have had encouraged me to work on different projects
and collaborations, from working with media houses, educational
institutions, Government of Odisha, UNESCO and others.
I will be still within the Wikimedia movement wearing different hats. This
is my personal email address, feel free to reach out to me anytime over
here or on social media channels.
Dhanyabaad! :)

Through the end of July we’ll running some pre-existing banners to test out our infrastructure. These tests will generally run for a couple of hours at a time.
