All,
I am pleased to announce Marc-Andre will be joining us as aTechnical Operations Engineer (contractor) starting this February 25, 2013. His primary focus will be to build up the Wikimedia Labs infrastructure and to assist the community developers to migrate their tools to that infrastructure, especially those residing on the Toolserver today.
Marc-Andre is an active wikipedian and he is better known as 'Coren' on English Wikipedia and has been a volunteer editor since 2006 where he has served as administrator and arbitrator. He also always kept himself involved with the technical and procedural aspects of automated editing (so-called bots), having written and operated a copyright-violation detection bot for several years.
Marc has been a Unix system administrator and occasional computer science instructor for 20+ years, in fields ranging from telecommunication to game development. He studied IT at École de Technologie Supérieure (Canada).
Please join me to welcome him and you can find him on IRC (freenode.net) using the nick 'Coren'.
Thanks.
CT Woo

Thanks for the welcome, CT!
For the curious, my full name is pronounced [ma?k.ãd?e p?l?t^(s)je], but everyone is free to call me simply "Marc", which is the name I use in English-speaking environments. Online, you can also use "Coren" which is what my IRC nick is and most everyone knows me by.
I look forward to working with you all, gang!

... not sure what happened to my Unicode in transit there. I should probably simply put the IPA on my user pages instead. :-)
