Wikimedia Foundation hired new Fundraising Engineer

Recent hire Adam Wight will start work at Wikimedia Foundation headquarters in San Francisco this week as a Fundraising Engineer (wikitech-l mailing list). He was involved in customizing open-source web services for non-profits at web development firm Giant Rabbit, and he is familiar with the CiviCRM system used to handle Wikimedia donations, which could prove vital in allowing him to more successfully support both the activities of the foundation and the other chapters, many of whom use the same software. Before joining here he was involved in the Atako Project (the first open-source Google Gadget directory); "Halfway Library", a project aimed at sharing and reviewing books; and "Prokaryote", an evolution/behavior patterns simulator used in university and high school classrooms. More recently he has contributed to "Offline" extension for MediaWiki, and he is currently helping with a distributed wiki project "OneCommons". Wright's first official day was on May 31st, but his first day at the San Francisco office will be on June 13.
