User:Sumanah



I'm Sumana Harihareswara, an employee of the Wikimedia Foundation working as Engineering Community Manager (was Volunteer Development Coordinator between May 2011 and April 2012). I nurture the software community that supports the Wikimedia movement; for a snapshot of my work, see this blog entry.

I worked on several of Wikimedia Foundation's recent Dev Days or hackathons: Berlin Hackathon 2011, New Orleans Hackathon, Mumbai Hackathon, and the January 2012 SF Hackathon. I was the administrator for UCOSP Spring 2012 and for Google Summer of Code 2011 and Summer of Code 2012.

I live in New York City, USA.
