Dear Wikimedians,
Please join me in welcoming Mike Godwin as our new General Counsel and Legal Coordinator.
Ah... It's nice that we've finally hired some staff where we won't have to worry about Wikipedians arguing if being WMF staff alone is enough to justify an article about them.

Welcome Mike! Amusingly enough, the fact that I did not go with Kat to meet you tonight means that I get to congratulate you before her.

That Godwin? Wow! Anyone would think the board were running for reelection. ;)
If only we could get Theodore Sturgeon and Douglas Hofstadter, we'd have the best legal team in history :)
