Thanks, Rob, and thanks to all of you who congratulated me publicly or privately. There's a lot to be done and I'm glad I'm doing it with you. Here's a draft summary of our goals for July 2012-June 2013: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Engineering/2012-13_Goals#Wikimedia_technical_community To answer a few questions: Raylton Sousa asked, > I wonder if I'll still be able to call Sumana all the time in the irc to > solve my doubts? I hope so, she is patient =D Thank you! I'll be available somewhat less in IRC as I have more conference-call meetings, but of course I encourage you to share your questions in IRC because other people often have the answers. Petr Bena asked, > Could we get some kind of information of what is this Engineering > Community Group? As Rob mentioned, this is just a renaming of the TL;DR group: https://blog.wikimedia.org/2011/11/15/tld/ Our activities: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Platform_Engineering#Engineering_Community_Team Thanks again, everyone. -- Sumana Harihareswara Engineering Community Manager Wikimedia Foundation ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

Whenever I wonder "What has Sumana been up to lately", I see her working on some excellent new project, cleaning out a neglected backlog, organizing training materials, helping people start an event, documenting something undocumented, prodding WMF to get smarter -- in other words, she's been tirelessly, fearlessly, capably making things better for our dev community, which in turn benefits the quality of the software we build together. We're very lucky to have her.

Hi all, Could we get some kind of information of what is this Engineering Community Group?

Sumana started with us as a contractor back in February 2011, initially in a targeted engagement to help out with Google Summer of Code and with the Berlin Hackathon last year. Later that year, as we interviewed people to bring in as Volunteer Development Coordinator, not only did Sumana put in a strong application herself, but recruited very worthy competition for the role. After winning the role, she worked tirelessly to straighten out many kinks in our processes around volunteer development and systematically ensured that new volunteer developers get the recognition and (if needed) help they deserve. She has also applied focus and organization in many areas outside of her immediate purview, for example, recently stepping in as project manager for Git, and occasionally filling in for me when I've been unavailable for the larger Platform Engineering organization. The promotion to Engineering Community Manager isn't so much a change in the way things are done here so much as an official recognition of a vital role that she has already played for the past year. Sumana has been working with Guillaume Paumier and Mark Hershberger under the somewhat ad hoc group title of "Technical Liaison; Developer Relations (tl;dr)", serving as lead of that group since last year. Under the new "Engineering Community" name, this group will continue to serve many roles: facilitating collaboration and communication between Wikimedia Foundation and its employees and the larger Wikimedia developer community, as well as facilitating collaboration and communication between the Wikimedia developer community and other Wikimedia communities. Thank you, Sumana, for your hard work over the past year. I'm looking forward to seeing what you and the group accomplish moving forward. Congratulations!
