Everyone,
I have a few announcements (apologies for the delay as this was posted to
an internal WMF staff mailing list a few weeks ago).
First, I'd like to announce Oliver's transition to Product Analyst
(contractor, full time). As many of you know, Oliver has been working with
us for the past ~2 years as a Community Liaison. As Community Liaison, he
has helped provide the critical link between the English Wikipedia editing
community and WMF product teams on Page Curation, Echo, AFT, and
VisualEditor. Effective immediately, Oliver will be transitioning to the
newly created role of Product Analyst. In this role, Oliver will support
the Flow team in mapping out the myriad of complex workflows, templates,
bots, and other craziness that happens on talk pages, and also providing
analytical support to help the Flow team prioritize features. [*]
So a staff member that gets blocked on wiki (By Arbcom no less) is
basically getting getting a promotion, Where as volunteers that get blocked
and have access to some of our other services such as OTRS get their
permissions revoked.
WONDERFUL!
*sigh*
If you're going to troll, why let facts get in the way....

On the other note, congratulation Oliver, Dan and Nick!!! :)
