My Introduction[edit]

I am Jay Prakash, a computer science student from India. I joined the Wikimedia Community in 2015 from English Wikipedia. I edited Hindi Wikipedia from 2016-17. Since 2017, I contribute to technical areas on Wikimedia. Currently, I have a

This is my second request in this program. You can see my first request at Hardware donation program/Jayprakash12345.

What happened with the last Laptop?[edit]

Mac Charger

I got the laptop from this program in 2018 (2 Years ago). It worked well till Wikimania. In my Wikimania journey during security checkup, I put my laptop into the basket. Unfortunately, the basket has been slipped from the queue. then I repaired the laptop with my own expenses. although I have asked CIS to support me. but later I got some stipend from my Internship. So I dropped the idea to get support from CIS. The problem is in the internal circuit board. 2 Mac charger has been damaged by an internal circuit. Now it is not in a workable state.

How did you use the last laptop[edit]

How you would contribute if WMF were to gift a used laptop to you[edit]

Currently supporting different Indic wiki communities in terms of technical is my target. I have created many tools and scripts under Indic-TechCom. So for the maintenance and adding a new feature is my priority. we have to have assumed good faith. In the last hardware donation request, I did not plan so much technical work. But I did a lot. Like that, I am also assuming that it will very production like last one.


Also, I conducted the Small Wiki Toolkits event with mw:Wikimedia Technical Engagement's Developer Advocacy team.

Any Hardware specification?[edit]

Like the previous one What_is_needed_and_why. I need 64 bit and 8 GB+ RAM laptop. These are mw:MediaWiki-Vagrant specification. My main tool development is done on the MediaWiki Vagrant.

Wiki Editing?[edit]

Apart from that, I am mostly active in Hindi Wikiversity. I have 18,000+ global Edits. I am Sysop on hi.wikiversity. But You can drop this. Because I need the laptop for Technical Contribution.
