[Announcement] Welcome Mike !

Dear Wikimedians,

Please join me in welcoming Mike Godwin as our new General Counsel and
Legal Coordinator.

As General Counsel and Legal Coordinator, Mike will be responsible for
handling the day-to-day legal needs of the Wikimedia Foundation, as well
as coordinating pro bono legal help worldwide. Additionally, he will be
responsible for evaluating the Foundation’s policies and operating
procedures, and assisting the Board of Trustees with legal concerns.

Mike comes to us from Yale Law School and the Yale Department of
Computer Science, where he was working as a Research Fellow, supervising
student research projects involving law and technology.

Mike is an accomplished attorney with over 17 years of experience in
legal policy development and advocacy concerning technology, privacy and
the internet. Most notably, he was the first Staff Counsel for the
Electronic Frontier Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to educating the
public about civil liberties relating to technology, and acted as a
defender of those liberties. He also served as Counsel to two Washington
D.C.-based nonprofits, specifically Public Knowledge and The Center for
Democracy and Technology.

We are confident that Mike’s expertise will be a valuable asset to the
Wikimedia Foundation, and that he will play a central role in helping
the Foundation tackle the many unique challenges it faces.

Mike will be working from his office in the Washington, DC, area. If you
would like to volunteer with the Wikimedia Foundation in a legal
capacity, we encourage you contact Mike directly by email at
mgodwin[at]wikimedia.org.

Please help me extend a warm welcome to Mike.

Florence Devouard
Chair Wikimedia Foundation

Ah... It's nice that we've finally hired some staff where we won't
have to worry about Wikipedians arguing if being WMF staff alone is
enough to justify an article about them.

Welcome Mike!
Amusingly enough, the fact that I did not go with Kat to meet you
tonight means that I get to congratulate you before her.

I did do a quick double-take at the name...

It looks at a glance like we've hired just the kind of background we
could want to replace Brad. And it's reassuring to have a replacement,
regardless of anything else!

Welcome aboard.

Tsk tsk, you didn't read geni's email.

The question was "can we have a BETTER picture". ;-)

Seconded.

Yes I've seen it (apart from anything else it is the one currently
used on en). 277 × 320 pixel 55 KB is not good. That is the kind of
size we use for "fair use" stuff. Ideally commons wants at least print
quality.

This sounds impressive. I hope that he and Sue will be able to make it
to Taipei so that more of us can meet them.

Heh, I was actually just on that article a couple days ago, while
investigating a theory that as an online discussion grows longer, the
probability of someone being called a troll approaches one.

"It appears you are claiming to be Mike Godwin and editing [[Godwin's
law]]. If you are Mike Godwin then it is inappropriate for you to be
editing content related to yourself. If you are not, then please cease
pretending to be Mr. Godwin." (from [[User talk:Mikegodwin]])

Welcome Mike, any ideas on my theory? I'm probably just completely
misunderstanding something.

Anthony

And yet no one tries to call me to get me to take a picture while I'm
out? :-) (I've taken terrible pictures of both of them; I'll see if
there are any half-decent.)

Anyway, I'm glad to finally be able to publicly welcome Mike to the madhouse!
