I liked the interview (link below) of Cindy Cicalese by Yaron Koren. I learned information about Enterprise MediaWiki and about government use of MediaWiki that was new to me. Also, given Cindy's extensive experience with MediaWiki, I'm glad that WMF hired her to be the product manager for MediaWiki Core.
What's making you happy this week?

P.S. For those who are unfamiliar with the history of "What's making you happy this week?", I believe that the concept of these threads in the Wikimedia ecosystem started in the *Wikipedia Weekly* Facebook group, and the concept was copied from there to Wikimedia-l. I'm being bold by expanding the distribution of this thread to Wikitech-l, which I hope will be accepted by Wikitech-l subscribers since there are often mentions of technical developments in these threads. If someone feels strongly that these threads shouldn't be shared on Wikitech-l, they're welcome to email me (on list or off list) or comment on my talk page. I feel that technical contributors are welcome to comment in these threads about what is making them happy this week, and I hope that WIkitech-l subscribers will generally like the concept.

Hi everyone,
I decided to start a podcast in which I interview developers and users from the MediaWiki community - it's called "Between the Brackets". The first episode was just published today - it's an interview with Cindy Cicalese, who worked with MediaWiki for a long time at MITRE and is now the Product Manager for the MediaWiki Platform at the Wikimedia Foundation.
Here it is:
