Hi Team

I'm part of the marketing team for Srijan Technologies.

One of our ex-employees had uploaded a case study for us: https://www.drupal.org/node/629664

As the leads would now be going to the author instead of Srijan, we would want to shift the author to Rahul Dewan, Founder and CEO, Srijan.

Would you please help us with this?

Regards, Rajat

It doesn't seem there is an account for Rahul Dewan. Are you sure about the username?

Title: Transferring author for Srijan's case study » [Wrongly Transferred] Transferring author for Srijan's case study
Priority: Normal » Major

I just noticed this and am very surprised at the transfer of authorship. (Interestingly this ticket took ~2 years to resolve but I am surprised it was even acted upon!!)

I am the author of the case study https://www.drupal.org/node/629664 . This case study was written by me completely from scratch based on my experience with the open the magazine project. At that time, I was consulting with Srijan Technologies.

I just noticed that the authorship of this case study on Drupal.org has been transferred away from me after 10 years !! When I click on https://www.drupal.org/node/629664 it says the article is "by rahuldewan" which is not correct.

No consent was sought for this transfer. I consider this case study as one of my important contributions to Drupal.

This does not seem to fit the open source nature of Drupal. There are many people contributing code/articles/tickets etc. on behalf of companies as employees/consultants and the credit for that is not taken away from them.

I am happy to write down at the end of the article or beginning that all queries should be directed to Srijan Technologies to Rahul Dewan as necessary. Srijan Technologies is a good company and I continue to wish them all the best in all their endeavours.

But the change of the by-line of the article should not have been done without my consent!

Kindly change the authorship of the article back to me please to reflect the original historical record.
