His immediate work at WMF with Ryan, Andrew and Sara is to enhance and deploy more services on the new WIkimedia Labs platform http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/WMF_Projects/Wikimedia_Labs.
Faidon comes with lots of experience and expertise in deploying and operating large scale LAMP-stack technologies and virtualized environment (such as KVM & Ganeti), as well as a strong background in network administration.
In addition, he is a active contributor and promoter of open-source software and the free culture movement. He is a volunteer with Debian since 2004 and became a member of the Debian Project since 2006. Recently, he was appointed to the Debian Systems Administration Infrastructure team.
