Hi! As of yesterday, I'm back after my three-month sabbatical at Hacker School. I'm in catchup mode so I haven't yet resubscribed to most lists, nor quite taken back over Engineering Community Team (Quim Gil is still in charge until sometime next week when I feel back up to speed).
Thank you to WMF for the sabbatical program, thanks to my boss Rob Lanphier for his support, and thanks to my team. I was able to walk away worry-free for three great months because I knew that Andre Klapper, Quim Gil, and Guillaume Paumier had my back. :)

Welcome back! Would be great if you could share your experiences, you're the only person I know who went to a hacker school :-) Do you plan to contribute (more) code to WMF or other open source projects?
Maarten
Thanks for all your kind welcome-back messages, public and private!

I am a different and better person now that I've done Hacker School. It rewired my brain to spend 12 weeks in an environment of self-directed learning where the social rules https://www.hackerschool.com/manual#sub-sec-social-rules and the admissions process
kept us from accidentally discouraging each other and made Assume Good Faith a living reality.
There are a lot of developer boot camps or training courses out there, and they have various merits, but nearly all of them have a fixed curriculum. At Hacker School I was in charge of my own experience, but could pair program with any of my colleagues or the facilitators. I'm a lot stronger as a developer and I no longer find it as embarrassing to reveal my own ignorance. Please feel free to read my Hacker School-related blog entries http://www.harihareswara.net/nb/nb.cgi/category/sumana/Hacker%20Schoolwhich are not yet finished; I'm also happy to talk more, publicly or privately, about my experience.
To answer your other question, I do plan to keep on contributing to WMF-related projects. I need to fix up the language/Wikidata bits of https://tools.wmflabs.org/missing-from-wikipedia/index , for one thing....
Welcome back!
I look forward to working (maybe even pairing) with you. (I also want to try the fun and profit friday's program too)
