There are some changes in the Analytics team I'd like to let you know about.

First of all, I'd like to congratulate Dario Taraborelli on his promotion to Senior Research Scientist, Research and Data team lead. Dario has made significant contributions to the Foundation and Community's use of data and analysis over the past several years and has been instrumental in establishing the charter of the new Research and Data team in Analytics. I'm really excited about Dario's increased scope and visibility in his new role both in and outside of the Foundation.

In addition, Aaron Halfaker has been given the new title of Research Scientist. This new role recognizes his expertise and scientific contributions as a researcher and now as a full-time member of the Research and Data team at the Foundation.

Please join me in congratulating Dario and Aaron!

I also want to announce that Diederik van Liere will be leaving the Analytics team and is exploring other roles within the Foundation. Currently, he is helping Rob Lanphier with the planning of the Architecture summit. I will be handling the Product Management duties pending the hiring of a new Product Owner.

Diederik played a significant role in introducing both Hadoop and Kafka to the Foundation's technology stack, and in introducing Scrum to the Analytics team. I would like to thank Diederik for his 2 years of product leadership in Analytics and his contributions to the Foundation and the Community.

-Toby
