Hi. Is there a status update about the search for a new Executive Director? I checked <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/ED_Transition_Team>. Relatedly, there's now a position opening for a VP of Engineering (<http://hire.jobvite.com/Jobvite/Job.aspx?j=ods8Xfwu>). Big changes ahead, it seems. MZMcBride

For the curious, Jan-Bart posted an update to Meta-Wiki on November 30 (cf. <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Permalink/6560182>): --- Hi everyone It has been a while but I would like to assure you that we are currently actively involved in the interviewing phase. Due to privacy concerns this is naturally a more "silent" phase of the process. The Transition Team will next meet on the 4th of December. Jan-Bart 11:38, 30 November 2013 (UTC) --- MZMcBride

https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Permalink/6682297 Thanks for the update. I'm a bit sad that we couldn't wrap up the search before the end of 2013, but there are silver linings in that Sue is continuing to stick around and we're not settling for a candidate that not everybody is thrilled with. One related question: will the delay in finding a new Executive Director impact the search for a Vice President of Engineering? I would think whoever becomes the next ED would want to have some input into who the next VP of Engineering is. MZMcBride

No. While it would be ideal for Sue's successor to be part of the process and we will look for opportunities to make this possible if they arise, the timing of the two searches is independent, and Sue is the hiring manager for the VPE. -- Erik Möller VP of Engineering and Product Development, Wikimedia Foundation
