We are very pleased to announce that Jonah Duckles has accepted the
position of Executive Director of the Software Carpentry Foundation, and
will start on Monday, October 5, 2015. Jonah was most recently the
Director of Informatics and Innovation at the University of Oklahoma
where he partnered with researchers to improve their computational
workflows while developing maker spaces for the campus. He holds a BS in
Physics and an MS in Forestry and Natural Resources, both from Purdue,
and has been a very active contributor to Software Carpentry for several
years.
Jonah and Greg Wilson will job-share during a short transition period,
after which Jonah will devote himself to building relations with
partners, overseeing the development of our curriculum, being Software
Carpentry's spokesperson, and working with the Steering Committee to set
our future direction, while Greg focuses on instructor training. As with
the election of the Steering Committee in January, splitting these two
roles is another sign of Software Carpentry's growth, and growing success.
Please give Jonah your warmest welcome, and stay tuned for more exciting
news.
