Rajesh Ranjan

A Localization and Community Strategist

I possess more than 10+ years of experience in working with the FOSS community and four years experience of journalism. I am the founder of award winning FUEL Project and I have been managing the global community project on standard linguistic resources since the past 6 years. I am founder of Bhasha Ghar also that works for less resourced Locales. I worked as a Team Lead and Senior Technical Translator / Language Maintainer, Hindi at Red Hat for 10+ years. I hold a Postgraduate Diploma (Two Years) in Translation Studies and also Postgraduate Diploma in Hindi Journalism (One Year). I am a life member of a prestigious organization - the Linguistic Society of India. I hold multiple community lead positions in different internationally recognized projects. I authored a book on open source language computing Apanā Kampyūṭara Apanī Bhāṣā Mēṁ.

I am a FOSS enthusiast - social entrepreneur who loves to work as a catalyst in the FOSS world. I love the word 'community', and I strongly feel that 'collaboration' is the key to progress – both on an individual and organizational level. I respect voluntarism. I am associated with multiple FOSS projects and my contribution is largely related to language computing. I am also a trained journalist. I specialize in building and working with the high performance community of GILT industry. I believe that knowledge sharing should be a social responsibility for every human being and this is the only way that we can take the human civilization to its zenith.

I mainly worked for motivating wikipedia Maithili Community and on other bugs:

Create a mailing list for Maithili (mai) Wikipedia

Bhojpuri wikipedia should start with 'bho' instead of 'bh' to avoid confusion with Bihari

Please move Maithili from incubator to mai.wikipedia.org
