Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Welcome to the India Team! : Shiju & Nitika
Congratulations to Shiju and Nitika. It has been great working along with Shiju, closely for years now and I don't have to tell that how much he deserves this. I wondered how he gets time to "really" work with ABB with all his wiki activities ;) and I am sure that this position would help him concentrate on one thing he is really passionate about. Welcome on-board, Nitika ! Looking forward to work with you too. Best wishes again to both Shiju and Nitika !

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Welcome to the India Team! : Shiju & Nitika
Wow! I am so happy to see Shiju. Heartiest congratulations to both Shiju and Nikita. Shiju is the guy who initially invited me to his house to teach the basics in the month of February when I first joined Wikipedia as an Editor and kind of pushed me into organizing the first Workshop for Odia Wikipedia in Bangalore and 2nd in Bhubaneswar and handled almost everything. I am so overwhelmed to see him on-board. Name any Indic Wiki initiative and you'll find Shiju being the first guy to take initiative. A long time Malayalam Wikipedian, and being part of the outreach programs in Indic initiative, Wikipedia India could never have the great opportunity to get someone work for the foundation as a staff. Just came to know about Nikita from Hisham's mail, will look forward to meeting the new staff members in any Bangalore meetups. @Tinu, I would like to suggest we can have a small talk from Shiju in the coming meetup.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Welcome to the India Team! : Shiju & Nitika
Dear All Thank you very much for welcoming me to the new role. First of all I am extremely sorry for responding to this mail very late. For the past few days I was traveling and my access to internet was intermittent. I'm really excited with this new assignment. As you all know over the past few years Indic wiki communities had done (either individually or through collaboration with multiple wiki communities) many great things. I was lucky enough to be part of some of these assignments. Due to the efforts of various Indic wiki community members, most of the big language wikis are active now. With more than 40 Indic language wikis I know the task is not going to be easy. But I am sure with the support from the respective language speakers we can together do many great things. I look forward to work closely with all of you and requesting your support for the same. Warm Regards, Shiju Alex On Mon, Aug 1, 2011 at 10:54 AM, BalaSundaraRaman wrote: > Congrats Shiju and Nitika!

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Welcome to the India Team! : Shiju & Nitika
Dear All, Thank you for your heart warming mails and welcoming me to the Wikimedia Foundation! I am extremely excited to be a part of the Wiki community and would love to contribute to the benevolent cause of the movement. A lot has been achieved to awaken the world by the community and I am eager to learn from their experiences. I believe that there is a tremendous opportunity to take the movement to a different height, especially in India, and I look forward to working closely with all of you in future.

Welcome Shiju and Nitika! But now I can't help asking: how exactly can African drums be used for management coaching (per Hisham's introduction of Nitika)? =) Annie On Tue, Aug 2, 2011 at 12:50 PM, Nitika Tandon wrote: > Dear All, > > > Thank you for your heart warming mails and welcoming me to the Wikimedia > Foundation! > > I am extremely excited to be a part of the Wiki community and would love to > contribute to the benevolent cause of the movement.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Welcome to the India Team! : Shiju & Nitika
Hey Annie, Let me start by saying that it was lovely to meet the entire Wikimedia team here in Haifa. I wish I had the opportunity to meet you as well, but nonetheless I hope we meet sometime soon. I have a lot to learn from you that will help me being a part of the GEP in India. Please let me know if you'd have time to get on a skype call sometime post 17th August. I pick this date only because I'm traveling in Israel until then. Talking about African drumming, it was a very interesting project. So the fundamental concept being, that a company's success is a function of it's employees and their capability of working in tandem and harmony with each other. And Sewa Beats (the organisation I was working with) employs rhythm and African music to help people connect with each other. So in a typical workshop, a team of 50 to 500 were taught a particular rhythm on African drum (called the djembe) and were asked to simulate the same in the group. In the process, management learnings were derived like the importance of team work and communication (thier ability to play the djembe together). There were more aspects involved which I would love to share with you, but lets take that over the skype call. Or else, i'll be writing paras and paras about the workshops. :-) However, I was not an active part of these workshops. I was working on their market expansion strategy in new markets particularly in Spain, Sweden, France and Denmark. Phew! That was a long mail. Will tell you more about it over our call. :-) Nitika On Sun, Aug 7, 2011 at 4:18 AM, Annie L.
