Sailesh Patnaik

Hello! My name is Sailesh Patnaik. I am an active Odia Wikimedian and contributing to Wikimedia projects from 2012. I have been very active in outreach programs and has conducted workshops , presentations, and edit-a-thons to spread awareness about Wikipedia(Please find here). As a community member, I was a keen observer of WEPs for Odia Wikipedia at KISS and IIMC and has also participated in it. I have also done Education programs in Utkal University,CET and KIST college.

I have maintained a good relationship with Indic community and has also led the organizing team of national events like WikiLovesFood and Wiki Conference India.

I have been associated with Wikipedia Education Program as the distribution leader of the newsletter team from September 2015 and has successfully delivered its 2 quarterly newsletters. --Saileshpat (talk) 00:11, 21 May 2016 (UTC)
