Hello everyone,
It’s with great pleasure that I’m announcing that Adam Wight has joined the Wikimedia Foundation as a Fundraising Engineer.
Before joining us, Adam was customizing open-source web services for non-profits at Giant Rabbit. This makes him the first Fundraising engineer to be familiar with CiviCRM **before** joining the team — in fact, he has contributed event registration workflow and other minor changes back to the project. :-) He also did work on the Atako Project (the first open-source Google Gadget directory), “Halfway Library” to share and review books, and “Prokaryote” a evolution/behavior patterns simulator used in university and high school classrooms. If you ever snuck into the Unix lab to get their workstations running SETI@home, you probably used his code (he wrote the X-windows implementation). He has recently contributed an "Offline" extension for Mediawiki, and he is helping with a distributed wiki project "OneCommons".
On the side, he’s involved with a number of education and agricultural projects, including being the programmer at the Multinational Exchange for Sustainable Agriculture and is a cofounder and worker at The Local food coop at UC Berkeley. He also is obsessed with blacksmithing (no, this is not a new coding process — I mean that he’s a blacksmith and has been a carpenter and housepainter).
His first official day was on May 31st (where he was at the Berlin Hackathon), but his first day at the San Francisco office will be on June 13th. He will be working with the FR-Tech team, no doubt fixing our many bugs in CiviCRM.
Please join me in welcoming Adam to the Wikimedia Foundation. :-)
Take care,
Terry
