Hi All, The Technical Operations team is pleased to announce Sean Pringle joined us today ( 24th June, 2013). Among his duties, Sean will be attending to all aspects of the database layer including management, monitoring, design, capacity, performance, and troubleshooting. Sean comes with vast experience in database technology and development background with a specific focus on MySQL and MariaDB. He has held senior roles in database support, database administration, and technical writing with various companies including MySQL AB, Sun Microsystems, and SkySQL Ab. He also has fingers in a few non-profit and open-source projects scattered around the net. Sean hails from Queensland, Australia and while he travels around frequently, he inevitably always flee back to his down under home. He confessed being forever distracted by all things geek and technology related though he can also be spotted behind a telescope on starry nights and with nose in a book when the cloud rolls in. To quote him, "I am excited to be joining the WMF, an opportunity which I see as an 11 on the awesomeness scale of 1 to 10" ! Please join us in welcoming Sean!
