Hi everyone, it is with great pleasure that Daniel and I would like to announce that Giuseppe Lavagetto is joining the TechCom. Giuseppe works in the Technical Operations team, which is responsible for the reliability, availability and performance of the WMF infrastructure. Within the team, he works on a great deal of different problems, but mostly focuses on the MediaWiki and the other services that constitute our application layer, and on automation of the infrastructure. He has been involved in the work to transition our infrastructure to use HHVM, and has put a lot of effort in our project to serve our application layer from multiple datacenters. He is also one of the early advocates for our current effort to use Kubernetes and containers for our services layer. We are very excited to have him join the TechCom where he will have even more impact on our mission. Welcome Giuseppe!
Warm regards, Victoria & Daniel PS If you would like to hear more about the TechCom and the new charter, please join us on Sept 5th for a webcast.
