Hi Hisham,
Thanks a lot for all the motivation you provided during the IEP times and
also post IEP. Your words of encouragement and support when I had just
started volunteering for Indian Collaboration of the Month(WP:INCOTM) was a
nice gesture on your part.
Had many good memories with you and wish to be in touch with you!
All the best! You rock! \m/
P.S: One of Hisham's dialogue which we all CA's of IEP know is - "We'll
discuss this man-to-man, outside the class, in Hindi!". I guess this might
apply to that person who is subscribed on this list for no reason. ;-) :P
Cheers,
Pratik Lahoti

Dear English-Wikipedians in India 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,
*hisham*
