All,
I am pleased to announce Marc-Andre will be joining us as aTechnical
Operations Engineer (contractor) starting this February 25, 2013. His
primary focus will be to build up the Wikimedia Labs infrastructure and to
assist the community developers to migrate their tools to that
infrastructure, especially those residing on the Toolserver today.
Marc-Andre is an active wikipedian and he is better known as 'Coren' on
English Wikipedia and has been a volunteer editor since 2006 where he has
served as administrator and arbitrator. He also always kept himself
involved with the technical and procedural aspects of automated editing
(so-called bots), having written and operated a copyright-violation
detection bot for several years.
Marc has been a Unix system administrator and occasional computer science
instructor for 20+ years, in fields ranging from telecommunication to game
development. He studied IT at École de Technologie Supérieure (Canada).
Please join me to welcome him and you can find him on IRC (
freenode.net)
using the nick 'Coren'.
Thanks.
CT Woo
