Andre is one of the 'oldest' Wikipedians (in terms of years on the site). His first edits on Wikipedia were from March 2001 (two things to show how early: 1. That's before the first slashdotting; 2. English Wikipedia several years ago had a list of the oldest still active editors, He was at number 8. Number 7 was Jimbo). Apart from being an editor and sysop he has also been active as both an operator and a programmer of bots (still active as an operator, but only very little as a programmer nowadays), and has Steward rights. He also helped in the creation of Wikimedia Commons. Apart from Wikipedia, he is active in various open content projects. These include PGDP (Project Gutenberg Distributed Proofreaders) and Openstreetmap; recently has done similar things in the area of Dutch etymology. Andre studied mathematics, got his PhD in computer science. His last job was at C-Content, which is a company working in search engines. For them he mostly did harvesting and search request analysis. Before that he worked for the R&D department of Ericsson Netherlands. He just celebrated his 40th birthday, and is (and always have been) single, living in the city of ´s-Hertogenbosch. His free time is mostly spent behind his computer, either with the above mentioned projects or playing games. Apart from that he's an avid Go player, having reached the grade of 3 dan. I'm really honored to bring on such a long time community member to the Mobile team. Please join me in welcoming Andre! --tomasz _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
