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

Add FUEL Project Terminologies as a Glossary Choice for Translators

The FUEL Project collaborated with wikimedia project translatewiki. The collaboration is hugely successful and we are now working with 60 language community world wide. The project is widely accepted by major organisations of the world.

Apart from these work participated and helped to organise language summits (2013 Spring, 2013 Fall ] happened in Pune. Also participated in other Wikiepdia meet-ups.
