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.
