Re: [Wikitech-l] Introducing Srishti Sethi, our new Developer Advocate

Hello everybody, The Technical Collaboration team is very happy to introduce you to Srishti Sethi <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:SSethi_(WMF)>, our new Developer Advocate. Srishti will lead our efforts to engage volunteer developers in Wikimedia software projects and to grow the Wikimedia technical community. In her first assignments, she will help promote Community Wishlist projects, the Wikimedia Developer Summit, and Wikimedia’s participation in Google Code-in. Srishti just relocated from Boston to San Francisco, and she will work at the Wikimedia Foundation office. Srishti originally hails from Rajasthan, India. She recently finished her Masters in Media Arts and Sciences from the MIT Media Lab, where she was exploring how online platforms for learning could be made more peer-led, engaging, participatory and accessible to diverse populations. At the Media Lab, Srishti contributed to the design, development, and research of Unhangout (http://unhangout.media.mit.edu), a platform for running large-scale un-conference style events online. Before joining MIT, she was working as a software developer with a startup organization in India. As an undergrad, she was involved with the open source community GNOME and its educational project GCompris. In her spare time, Srishti likes to play ping-pong, do long bike trips, take photographs and make masala chai for friends. :) Please join us in welcoming Srishti! -- Quim Gil Engineering Community Manager @ Wikimedia Foundation http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Qgil _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
