Thanks, Oren! If I am able to work on pywikipediabot or other Wikimedia

You might not even have to wait that long! If you see a Sumana
Harihareswara contributing patches to pywikipediabot sometime in
November, that'll be me. :)

Congratulations, Sumana!  This sounds like a great opportunity for you.  It
is so great that programs like Hacker School and OPW are springing up these
days to help people that are out of school get experience becoming better
programmers.  I'm looking forward to hearing about your experiences there.

Congratulations! You have worked a lot to achieve this (and it is only 
the beginning).



During my absence, Quim Gil will be the temporary head of the
Engineering Community Team.


... which I don't expect to bring much change to the quite horizontal 
and distributed way of working of our team. But in any case: happy to Be 
Useful.


PS: if we get bored here we will start collecting bugs to test you when

[Wikitech-l] Advance notice: I'm taking a sabbatical October-December

[Sumana Harihareswara]

I've been accepted to Hacker School , a
writers' retreat for programmers in New York City. I will therefore be
taking an unpaid personal leave of absence from the Wikimedia Foundation
via our sabbatical program. My last workday before my leave will be
Friday, September 27. I plan to be on leave all of October, November,
and December, returning to WMF in January.

During my absence, Quim Gil will be the temporary head of the
Engineering Community Team. Thank you, Quim! I'll spend much of
September turning over responsibilities to him. Over the next month I'll
be saying no to a lot of requests so I can ensure I take care of all my
commitments by September 27th, when I'll be turning off my wikimedia.org
email.

If there's anything else I can do to minimize inconvenience, please let
me know. And -- I have to say this -- oh my gosh I'm so excited to be
going to Hacker School in just a month! Going from "advanced beginner"
to confident programmer! Learning face-to-face with other coders, 30-45%
of them women, all teaching each other! Thank you, WMF, for the
sabbatical program, and thanks to my team for supporting me on this. I
couldn't do this without you.
