 I'm excited to announce that Frances Hocutt has been hired as a Software
 Engineer on the Community Tech team starting 2015-05-26.

 She has gotten a good start on getting things done by writing a great
 introduction blurb for me to forward on:

 Frances is looking forward to starting on a [new team doing cool but
 unspecified stuff]. Frances has been with the WMF for most of the last
 year, first as an OPW intern and then as a developer for Community
 Resources. Frances has primarily worked in the MediaWiki API ecosystem: she
 wrote the standard for API client libraries, evaluated a number of them,
 and developed wiki bots to support this Inspire campaign and the Co-op
 mentorship project on English Wikipedia. She also has contributed patches
 and product management to Wikimetrics. Before starting work in F/OSS,
 Frances worked as a medicinal chemist, studied organic chemistry and
 materials science, and founded a hackerspace. She moved to the Bay Area in
 January. She enjoys giving talks, mentoring new programmers, and practicing
 various fiber arts.

 Frances can be found as fhocutt on IRC, Fhocutt as a volunteer, and
 Fhocutt (WMF) officially.

 I am pleased to announce Andrew Garret joining the Wikimedia
 Foundation as a full time Software Engineer

 Andrew has been contracting with the Wikimedia Foundation for over six
 years now and its only fitting to announce that now that he's done
 with his studies he'll be going full time at the Wikimedia Foundation.

 In the past six years, he's worked on a huge variety of projects,
 ranging from user preferences and spam filtering to notifications and
 two attempts to fix talk pages. He's passionate about making people’s
 workflows and processes make sense, so in the coming months, he's
 looking forward to having the time and energy to focus on software
 that humanizes our projects, eliminates busy work, and makes life
 easier for new and old contributors.

 Right now Andrew is in the process of moving from Sydney to Maastricht
 to be with his girlfriend
 He'll be working from Maastricht; and from early next year, Prague.

 So if you find yourself in one of those cities, you should let him know!

 When not working, doing assignments, or packing bags, Andrew is busy
 travelling or homebrewing.

 He's currently supporting the Flow team and we're exploring where
 he'll help next.

 Please join me in celebrating Andrew going full time
