Acceptance by the Candidate
Short Profile (including past involvment in Wikimedia activities in not more than 100 words): I am a 24 year old Wikipedian from Kerala. I am currently a student doing my MTech in Image Processing. I am part of the wikimedia community for last 4 years. I am a active editor of Malayalam wikipedia for last 2 years. I am also a contributer to Malayalam wikisource and English Wikipedia. I was a main organiser of about 6 wikipedia workshops all over Kerala. I was also a part of the wikiaccademy organized in Cochin University of Science and Technology. I also participated in WikiConference India 2011 and presented a paper there. I was also an organizer of Wikisangamolsavam 2012, the two day annual meetup of Malayalam Wikimedia Community.

Position Statement/Letter of intent (in not more than 200 words): I was a member of Wikimedia Foundation India Chapter last year. At the same time i was active in the wiki community. I found some synchronization problems between the community and the chapter. On being an Executive Committee member at the chapter i will work hard and will act as a bridge between the chapter and community so that the work of both can be synchronized. I am a Engineering Student. I used to see my friends read Wikipedia but they wont edit. I would like to work among student community in India to make them aware about the philosophy and make them active Wikipedia editors too. I also would like to implement wikimedia projects to take Wikipedia and its philosophy to people's science movements and other people's mass organizations so that we can address more people and social workers and make them active wikipedians.

I Sivahari Nandakumar solemnly affirm to hold the aims and objectives of Wikimedia Chapter in highest esteem and strive to the best of my ability in serving the cause of Wikimedia Chapter.
