While promotions are fairly insular, I think the wikitech community
would be happy to see this.

Subject: Chad Horohoe promoted to Senior Software Engineer
I'm more than pleased to announce that Chad Horohoe has been promoted to
Senior Software Engineer.
For those of you who don't know Chad, let me give a quick run down:
2005 - Started as a volunteer editor[0]
2008 - Became a MediaWiki developer[1]
2010 - Started contracting for WMF[2]
2012 - Became staff[3]
Those are just the legal/contract related highlights; Chad has done a
lot to help make the Wikimedia technology stack better. Everything from
migrating us from SVN to Git, shepherding multiple RFCs, working with
our upstream projects (HHVM, Phabricator, Gerrit), helped bring us our
new search infrastructure (ElasticSearch), and is generally a great
person to ask when no one else knows the history.
Please join me in congratulating Chad!
Greg
