Subject: [Wikimedia Announcements] [Announce] Brion Vibber to rejoin
Wikimedia Foundation
To: wikimediaannounce-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org
Hello,
Yes, the rumors are true! Today I am pleased to announce that after
more than a year away, Brion Vibber will be returning as a full-time
employee of Wikimedia Foundation on March 31, 2011. The public
posting is available

I'm really excited to be announcing this hire, especially at this
time. I've been looking for a Lead Architect for the next generation
MediaWiki platform, and Brion is of course the ultimate expert in
MediaWiki internals. He's also deeply committed to the work we are
doing to keep MediaWiki relevant for the next 10 years.
I completely enjoy working with Brion, and I'm totally looking forward
to having him back on the team full time (he has always helped out on
a volunteer basis).
Anyway, I wanted to give you all a heads up before the public
announcement. Please join me in welcoming him back!
Danese Cooper
CTO, Wikimedia Foundation
