We are very happy to welcome Amy Tsay, who has joined the Abstract Wikipedia team as Director of Product. Eagle-eyed observers may have noticed Amy already as a member of our Delft offsite https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Abstract_Wikipedia/Updates/2023-06-22. Amy will be responsible for product management and engineering for the team.
"I am super excited to be part of the Abstract Wikipedia team. I grew up in Southern California and have worked in the software industry for over 20 years, half of that time in open source. I’ve worn many hats in my career, but the common thread is that I love working with teams to build and ship software. In my spare time I read, garden, and create social media posts for my local animal shelter to help pets get adopted–a hobby that led me to adopt a calico kitten last year!"
We look forward to working with Amy to bring our products to the community! Monthly Volunteer's Corner July 10
Usually, the Volunteer’s Corner is on the first Monday of the month. Given that this month this was on July 3, which was a holiday for a number of team members, we had decided to move it to July 10th, at the usual time, instead. Bring your questions and ideas!
The Volunteer’s Corner will be on July 10th, 2023, at 17:30 UTC https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1689010228 on Jitsi at meet.jit.si/AWVolunteersCorner
