Welcome Yuri and Adam! Great to have you on the mobile team which is growing! Best, Alolita On Mon, Mar 18, 2013 at 10:32 AM, Dan Foy d...@wikimedia.org wrote: Welcome Yuri and Adam!

Yuri Astrakhan Adam Baso join as sr. software developers on the mobile partner team. In this role Yuri and Adam will support projects like Wikipedia Zero, SMS/USSD, and J2ME to further the reach of our projects in geographic areas that have both financial and technical impediments to access Wikipedia. They will be working closely with Kul and Dan from the global development group. Yuri has been heavily involved in Wikipedia-related projects 2005-2007 developing the API framework and querying subsystem, contributing to pywikibot code, and making millions of changes as yurikbot, while at the same time working as a software consultant for several large banks. In 2008 Yuri joined a small hedge-fund to lead the development of an automated trading platform. While there, Yuri continued various open source projects such as time-series database (timeseriesdb). After over five years, Yuri has rejoined the MediaWiki community and will be working for us from New York. Adam spent the past seven years working in the field of information security, specializing in application security, identity management, and encryption in the retail, government, and banking sectors. Adam led the OWASP Minneapolis-Saint Paul chapter for a couple of years, and proudly organized the OWASP AppSec USA 2011 conference. Adam and his wife are relocating to San Francisco from Minneapolis-Saint Paul, and they look forward to the opportunity to live in such a thriving software-friendly community. The mobile group is excited and proud to welcome both Yuri Adam as sr. engineers to the partner team. This completes the team and allows them to work aggressively to reach our 4 billion page target through outreach projects like Wikipedia Zero. Please join me in welcoming Yuri and Adam to the Wikimedia Foundation! --tomasz ___ Wmfall mailing list wmf...@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wmfall -- Dan Foy Technical Manager, Mobile Partnerships Wikimedia Foundation ___ Wmfall mailing list wmf...@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wmfall -- Alolita Sharma Director of Engineering Language Engineering Wikimedia Foundation ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

For those of you who haven't heard of http://owasp.org/ it's very bnat -- an effort to improve the security of all web-based applications through open source tools, materials, and trainings. It's great to have another security expert onstaff! The mobile group is excited and proud to welcome both Yuri Adam as sr. engineers to the partner team.
