Hi everyone,
I'd like to welcome Sumana Harihareswara as a consultant helping out
with some tasks that we eventually plan to hire a Volunteer
Development Coordinator to handle. Specifically, she's going to focus
on our participation in Google Summer of Code, as well as helping plan
WMF's participation in the Berlin Developer meeting happening later
this year. This announcement is a little late in coming since she
already has a running start on this work, and I'm sure many of you
have already seen her on IRC (sumanah).
Sumana is currently also a writer and editor for GNOME Journal, a
blogger at GeekFeminism, and is a long time participant in open source
communities. She has worked at Collabora, Fog Creek Software, and
Salon.com, and contributed to the AltLaw, Empathy, Miro, and Zeitgeist
open source projects. She's written a weekly newspaper column and
has performed (and taught) stand-up comedy.
I can go on here, but you can learn much more about her on her website:

We're really excited to be working with her. Welcome, Sumana!
Rob
