Welcome Patrick! -------- Forwarded Message -------- From: ext Daniel Phelps <dphelps(a)wikimedia.org> Reply-to: <foundation-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> To: wikimediaannounce-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Subject: [Wikimedia Announcements] Welcome Patrick Reilly Date: Wed, 13 Apr 2011 20:26:02 -0700 Sending on behalf of Tomasz Finc. ----- Greetings All, I'm super happy to announce that the engineering department has hired its first developer specifically for mobile. Patrick Reilly has joined us as a Sr. Software Developer for mobile and will be reporting directly to me. Patrick's first responsibility will include porting our existing mobile gateway to something a bit closer to our core architecture. He'll be assessing the current list of features for the gateway and will begin work on the next generation of mobile infrastructure for the WMF. This is a very high priority project as it is carefully timed with the mobile research work that both Mani and Parul are leading for us. Both of these projects will be the foundation of our mobile efforts going forward and are being actively documented and discussed at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Projects I'm really happy to have Patrick in this role as he has a wealth of platform development experience on big web sites. Through his work at Big Tent Design, Inc, OmniTI, Schematic, Media Revolution and numerous others he's really enjoyed building high traffic sites while keeping a focus on the mobile experience. Patrick continues to be active in the open source community by being the evangelism team leader for the PHP group. If you have any questions for Patrick or simply want to say hello then you can reach him at preilly(a)wikimedia.org or preilly on irc in #wikimedia-mobile. Please join me in welcoming Patrick Reilly to the Tech Department and to WMF. We are very happy to have him join us. --tomasz _______________________________________________ Please note: all replies sent to this mailing list will be immediately directed to Foundation-L, the public mailing list about the Wikimedia Foundation and its projects.
