I'm entirely pleased to announce that Chad Horohoe is joining the
Wikimedia Foundation's Release Engineering Team.
This community needs no introduction to Chad so I thought I’d share a
little bit of my personal experience with him.
I first worked with Chad on the MediaWiki Core Team; in fact, Chad was
one of the people who interviewed me for my initial position at WMF.
That's when I got to see first hand Chad's relentlessness and strong
(and vocal) commitment to the mission of the WMF. He tells you when you
think you’re wrong (in a nice way) but most importantly helps you make
things right. In short, he follows up his critique with patches (both
literally and figuratively).
Chad will be an obvious asset to the Release Engineering team; his
experience with Gerrit, his (already deep) knowledge of Phabricator, his
understanding of how all the pieces of our system work together (which
will help Beta Cluster), and his familiarity (and annoyances) of our
deployment tooling.
Even though I can’t express through email[0] my excitement that Chad is
joining the Release Engineering team please join me in welcoming him to
his new role.
