It is my real pleasure to announce that Guillaume Paumier has joined the usability team as Product Manager of the Ford multi-media usability project. Guillaume has been the author of Wikipedia articles, Wikipedia handbook and active Commons contributor since 2005, and served as a board member of French chapter from 2007 to 2009. He also coordinated the chapter meeting in Berlin for German chapter earlier this year. Outside of the "Wikimedia universe", Guillaume is actively advocating potential of Wikimedia Commons and has taken steps to create ties between Wikimedia and desktop imaging applications.
Guillaume has a master's degree in nanotechnology from Institut national des Sciences appliquées and a PhD in microsystems for life sciences from Université Paul Sabatier, both in Toulouse, France.
Guillaume will be working remotely as a consultant until the visa to work in the United States is approved. He can be reached at gpaumier@wikimedia.org.
Please join me welcoming Guillaume.

Congratulations, Guillaume, and best of luck. If the modern proverb, "a picture is worth ten thousand words", is true, then right now commons is worth over 50 billion words!
