Hi everyone, I'm very pleased to welcome Kirsten Lans to the Wikimedia Foundation, as the first ScrumMaster [1][2] hire into the newly formed Team Practices Group [3]. Kristen will be taking over ScrumMaster duties for the Mobile Web and Mobile Apps Engineering teams.
Prior to joining WMF, Kristen worked for six years with the TED prize-winning Encyclopedia of Life project [4], a free, open resource that aims to provide access to knowledge about all life on Earth. Kristen helped to pilot and facilitate the Encyclopedia of Life organization's agile development and planning processes, and enjoyed working with the project's global community of contributors. Kristen is thrilled to be continuing to work towards open knowledge sharing for all at an even larger scale. Kristen currently lives in Cape Cod, Massachusetts with her husband and dog, and is planning to relocate to the Bay Area by the end of the year, and is looking forward to eating her way through the San Francisco's tasty restaurants and taking advantage of the amazing outdoor activities in the area.
