  Hi! As of yesterday, I'm back after my three-month sabbatical at Hacker
 School. I'm in catchup mode so I haven't yet resubscribed to most lists,
 nor quite taken back over Engineering Community Team (Quim Gil is still in
 charge until sometime next week when I feel back up to speed).

 Welcome back! Would be great if you could share your experiences, you're
 the only person I know who went to a hacker school :-)
 Do you plan to contribute (more) code to WMF or other open source projects?

 Maarten


I am a different and better person now that I've done Hacker School. It
rewired my brain to spend 12 weeks in an environment of self-directed
learning where the social rules
https://www.hackerschool.com/manual#sub-sec-social-rules and the admissions
process

kept us from accidentally discouraging each other and made Assume Good
Faith a living reality.

There are a lot of developer boot camps or training courses out there, and
they have various merits, but nearly all of them have a fixed curriculum.
At Hacker School I was in charge of my own experience, but could pair
program with any of my colleagues or the facilitators. I'm a lot stronger
as a developer and I no longer find it as embarrassing to reveal my own
ignorance. Please feel free to read my Hacker School-related blog entries
http://www.harihareswara.net/nb/nb.cgi/category/sumana/Hacker%20Schoolwhich
are not yet finished; I'm also happy to talk more, publicly or
privately, about my experience.

To answer your other question, I do plan to keep on contributing to
WMF-related projects. I need to fix up the language/Wikidata bits of
https://tools.wmflabs.org/missing-from-wikipedia/index , for one thing
