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!

Welcome, Srishti!
From the MIT Media Lab to Wikimedia Foundation! How great!
It would be great to chat further about your work at the Media Lab with UnHangouts and at the WMF - and wiki CC WUaS as well; might you participate in the open ArchCom (Architecture Committee) meeting this afternoon from 2-3pm PT in Internet Relay Chat - #wikimedia-office ... https://webchat.freenode.net - as a start?
I'd like to invite you, Srishti, (and all Wikitechans/Wikidatans/Wikimedians in the SF Bay Area) to the Wikidata 4th birthday party on Wednesday, October 26 from 12:30-1:30 at Red Door Coffee SF on 111 Minna Street - https://www.wikidata.org/ wiki/Wikidata:Fourth_Birthday/Events. (CC World University and School donated CC WUaS to CC Wikidata last autumn. WUaS is bringing the cake to this party. Wiki WUaS is accrediting on MIT OpenCourseWare in its 7 languages+ to create free CC "Harvards of the Web" with free CC Uni degrees in all countries' main languages. WUaS holds an open hive meeting space at AFSC / SFFM on 9th Street at Mission on M & W, 10-noon, not far from the Wikimedia Foundation at all).
(Waiting here to hear if I made the short list for a tenure track MIT Media Lab junior faculty position. Will head back to Cambridge, MA, to give a talk and for interviews in late October / early November if I do.)
Welcome to the WMF wiki world of SF and looking forward to meeting and talking with you in person.
Namaste, Scott https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch
