Re: [Gendergap] Congratulations to WMF's Sumana Harihareswara!

Hi everyone, I want to congratulate Sumana Harihareswara, Volunteer Development Coordinator<http://blog.wikimedia.org/2011/05/03/welcome-sumana-harihare… the Wikimedia Foundation, on being chosen as Femmeonomics "50 Women to Watch in Tech." She's listed alongside some really amazing women - including Valerie Aurora who is a friend of this mailing list and co-founder of the Ada Initiative. <http://adainitiative.org/>[1] She's quite a voice within the community - encouraging developers and programmers to get involved in Wikimedia and participating in conferences like Open Source Bridge<http://blip.tv/open-source-bridge/open-source-bridge-2011-sumana-harihareswara-5315059>. On a personal note, Sumana has been a beam of encouragement for me, and has helped me gain confidence in regards to my "open source skills" and helping me learn more about feminist and women's roles and organizations in the open source community. She's also great to share a bottle of wine with. Congratulations Sumana! We'll be watching (pressures on!).... -Sarah [1] Currently only the first ten are listed, but the rest are on the way! http://femme-o-nomics.com/2011/10/the-50-women-to-watch-in-tech-the-first-1… -- <http://www.glamwiki.org> Sarah Stierch Consulting *Historical, cultural & artistic research & advising.* ------------------------------------------------------ http://www.sarahstierch.com/
