+1 to all of that. Maggie is a rock, and always keeps me pointing in the right direction; since I started contracting for the WMF, she's probably the person I've relied on the most for advice. She's smart, she's good with people, and she constantly makes me feel bad about "only" working 10 hour days. Glad to know I can keep picking her brain in the future ;)

Hi all,

I'm thrilled to announce that Maggie Dennis, our community liaison, has agreed to transition to a permanent role with the Wikimedia Foundation.

You may recall that Maggie was hired on a temporary contract, with the idea of rotating through community liaisons. We still intend to hire another community liaison - in fact, her work has proven the value of the program to such an extent that we'll be expanding it - but Maggie will stay on to provide continuity.

Maggie has been a godsend to me... she's a fount of knowledge, and incredibly hard working. Most importantly, she is able to fluently speak "Philippe" and translate that to "real-people talk". As User:Moonriddengirl, she is the maven of copyright for English Wikipedia, and has well over 100,000 edits. In short, she's a rock star.

Maggie will continue to report to me.

Best, pb

I said to her when temporarily hired that the Foundation could not have chosen anyone better for the role :)

She is superb.
