459884 - Update the staff page

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(www.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Thunderbird, defect)

Description

[Gary Kwong [:gkw] [:nth10sd] (NOT official MoCo now)]

So I'm no longer an intern, but rather part-time, and Rick's gone, and at least Mark Banner and David Bienvenu are in, along with Rafael Ebron..

The staff page is in need of a much needed update.

(Nit: my blog site is now http://www.rumblingedge.com/ - see bug 450005 )

davida previously noted on IRC, "we should also a) add the address of the canadian office someday, and b) change beard's title to chief innovation officer, moco"

Rafael, David (Bienvenu) if you two can supply some text about yourselves, and blog links if you have them, I'll be happy to update the page.

Possible bio:

Philippe M. Chiasson was born in a wee remote Quebec village, renowned for cow farms and otherwise producing an extraordinary small number of Open Source enthusiasts. He goes by his heraldic clan name: Gozer. In addition to being a Perl programmer with extreme system architecture and operations management prowess, Gozer is an accomplished yo-yo'er and juggler. Thankfully, he only has two small children, so he doesn't use them to practice.

His current focus is on doing the infrastructure work that will be leveraged by the cool new UI work that will be part of Thunderbird 3.0.

I've now committed svn revisions 20053 and 20058 to trunk, and 20054 and 20060 to stage. You can view the new page at http://stage.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/about/staff/

Comments welcome before I push this to production (which I'd like to do before the end of this week).

I've just pushed revision 20144 to production, which wraps up some of the staging revisions. This is now live on the web site, so we can close this bug now :-)
