Welcome Seddon. I'll start off right away with a request. (: Can you ask FR to share the methodology and assumptions that it's using to project WMF revenues for the next 3 years for purposes of annual planning?
Thanks! Pine

Hi All-
I am happy to announce that Joseph Seddon (User:Seddon) has joined the Advancement team to lead up our Community Engagement! Many of you have been asking for us to add a position like this to our team and we are thrilled that Seddon agreed to join us because he has both a deep understanding of the community and of our team’s work.
Many of you may already know Seddon, as he has been a Wikipedian since 2006, twice former WMUK trustee, and has helped the Fundraising team as a contractor (on and off) since 2011. Seddon will be a first point of contact for the community on all fundraising and partnerships work. Rest assured, all of us on the fundraising team will still be engaged with the community on meta, this list, etc. Seddon will simply be leading the effort in terms communication and collaboration and making us better.
Welcome (back) Seddon!
Best,
Lisa Gruwell
P.S. For those of you who have never met him, here's an intro is his own words:
Having been involved in the chapters, online community or working for the foundation in some shape or form since 2007, I have stood on pretty much on all sides of all the fences and even found myself straddling one or two in that time. That has given me a pretty unique perspective in terms of fundraising within the movement and one that I hope will serve both the community and my colleagues well going forward. On a more personal note, I’m based near London but originally from Wales. Interests include Rugby, Formula 1 and Cooking and prefer the hills to the city.
If you ever have any questions relating to any of the work the Advancement department does then feel free to drop me a message on my talk page [1], by email [2] or right here on this list.
