*Hi All,
Please join me in welcoming Ori Livneh as Software Developer on WMF’s new Editor Engagement Experiments (E3) engineering team.
Ori grew up in Israel, Canada and the United States. He likes to read philosophy, linguistics and fiction. He has a son, Noam, who is seven months old, and may or may not be named after Noam Chomsky, and a wife, Simona, who was definitely not named after Chomsky. He is a self-taught programmer and has a weird love/hate relationship with schools and academic institutions. When he can't fall asleep, he researches macabre topics on Wikipedia, which is the worst possible way to cope with insomnia. He's moving to the Bay Area from New York City and would appreciate your consolations :-). Needless to say, he's very, very excited to join the Wikimedia Foundation.
Ori is relocating to San Francisco later this month. So say hello to Ori online. He’s available as @olivneh on our favorite irc channels including #mediawiki and #wikimedia-dev. And drop by to see him when he’s in SF!
Welcome Ori! Glad to see you onboard.*

Welcome, Ori. I'm losing you as a neighbor and gaining you as a colleague. :) Best wishes and thanks for joining us.

Ori's also been a Wikimedian since 2005, with a healthy body of contributions to English Wikipedia, Hebrew Wikipedia, and Commons (among others). :-)
Ori joining WMF is really fantastic news from where I'm sitting, because it means that the experiments team will be able to start expanding our scope. If you'd like to see where we're at and contribute to our idea backlog, there are docs on:
- Meta (research-oriented mostly): https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Editor_Engagement_Experiments - English Wikipedia (includes an FAQ): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Editor_engagement_experiments
Welcome Ori. It's awesome to have you on board!
Steven
Congrats, it's great to see more folks on the team!
