[Foundation-l] Welcome Tilman Bayer to the Wikimedia Foundation
Dear Wikimedians, It's with great pleasure that I announce a longtime Wikipedian and accomplished Wikimedia project supporter, Tilman Bayer (User:HaeB) has agreed to join the Wikimedia Foundation in support of our movement communications activities. Pending approval of the U.S. immigration visa process, we intend to bring Tilman to San Francisco, full-time, as Manager, Movement Communications in the coming months. Tilman will augment Wikimedia's communications team (now at three!) and will report to me. Tilman will be known to many in the English Wikipedia community as editor-in-chief of the Wikipedia Signpost, where over the past year (after picking up the reigns from another current WMF staffer, Sage Ross) he has led the publication’s dedicated crew of volunteers and increased the depth and breadth of stories about Wikipedia, our projects, and the movement as a whole. Tilman has also helped raise the overall visibility of Signpost beyond the English Wikipedia, building a significant social media presence (managing and bolstering its Identi.ca and Twitter feeds), and generally increasing the reach of the stories about Wikipedia to more editors and readers than ever. Tilman has been active in both the German and English WP communities since 2003 (he's been a checkuser on the German Wikipedia since 2006). He holds degrees in mathematics from the University of Cambridge and the University of Bonn. At the Wikimedia Foundation Tilman will be working with all WMF staff, and the community at large, to help us both build new movement communications systems, and work with tech and the community department to produce great specifications for user communication oriented projects. We’re particularly interested in improving feedback, discussion, and broadcast channels among and outside of the projects (including social media, variations on mailing lists etc). In short, we want to introduce more painless, relevant, and effective ways to increase the exchange of information within the community - including information you want to share with everyone, as well as the stuff from WMF. Tilman will be visible on the projects and IRC, and you will likely start to see him posting to the mailing lists, blogs, and on-wiki. He’s also currently in the process of working on succession for the editorial leadership with the Signpost. Please join me in welcoming Tilman! -- Jay Walsh Head of Communications WikimediaFoundation.org blog.wikimedia.org +1 (415) 839 6885 x 6609, @jansonw ___ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
Re: [Foundation-l] Welcome Tilman Bayer to the Wikimedia Foundation
This really is awesome news! HaeB has brought the Signpost from strength to strength and I can only imagine what he'll produce when at the WMF. In my opinion there is no one more qualified for the role of movement communications than he is so I'm delighted that we'll be able to count on seeing HaeB's work for a long time to come :-) In short, W! wittylama.com/blog Peace, love metadata On 8 July 2011 17:25, Jay Walsh jwa...@wikimedia.org wrote: Dear Wikimedians, It's with great pleasure that I announce a longtime Wikipedian and accomplished Wikimedia project supporter, Tilman Bayer (User:HaeB) has agreed to join the Wikimedia Foundation in support of our movement communications activities.
