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.
