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!
Here here! Well-deserved indeed, Doctors Halfaker and Taraborelli. ;)
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.
I first worked with Diederik during the Summer of Research in 2011, where
he helped lead the team in making critical early forays in to analyzing the
editor decline problem. Like Howie said, his work has been really valuable
to the Foundation. Best of luck D, in finding a new role here.
