[Wikidata-l] Welcome Adrian! - Wikidata

Hey everyone :)

I'm happy to announce that earlier this week Adrian Lang joined Wikimedia Germany's software development team. He'll be working part-time with us. His main focus will be helping out with user interface tasks around Wikidata.

A bit of background about Adrian: He joined the German Wikipedia in 2007 and became a sysop that year. In 2008, he worked as a sysop on German Wikipedia and on Commons and as part of the German OTRS team, before he gradually left the community again. While active, he wrote various JavaScript tools for facilitating new images patrol, page deletion and moving images to Commons among other things. Afterward, he spent two years working on the PHP-based wiki engine DokuWiki as part of his professional life. For the last one and a half years, he worked as a freelance software developer focusing on doing JavaScript, client-side as well as with Node.js.

We're thrilled to have Adrian on board. Please say hi if you see him around.

Cheers Lydia
