Yes, congratulations! I hope this is an educational and rewarding
experience for you, and it will benefit Cascadia as well because of your
exposure to this process. :)

Congratulations, Pine!
I see that you will be working on the learning patterns library. I have
always imagined this library as a route to streamline the grant reporting
process, and based on your profile on the meta page, I think that this idea
must also be in your mind and the minds of others.
Doing grant reports is a tedious process for everyone involved and a huge
burden for Wikimedia volunteers who participate because they want to
support Wikimedia projects, and not because they want to do accounting and
documentation.
If you are curating that pattern library and you can actually get people
to use it in their reports, then I think they would benefit as individuals
and the entire community would benefit from getting higher quality grant
reports.
Best of luck in your project. I look forward to collaborating with you.
yours,

Hi Cascadians,
As I've told some of you in person, I have started to work under a
temporary contract for WMF as an intern of the Learning and Evaluation Team
in the Grantmaking Department. I hope that I gain knowledge and experience
from this venture that will benefit Cascadia. In case you are interested, I
have a WMF profile here:
https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Bgibbs_(WMF) My WMF work doesn't
give me the authority to approve grants or validate grant reports at WMF,
so I believe that there is no conflict of interest with Cascadia
Wikimedians.
I hope to see a number of you later this week at the community data
workshop.
Cheers,
Pine
