I am delighted to announce that Michael Hall, also known as mhall119 on IRC will be joining the Canonical Community Team and working with our upstreams, with a particular focus on growing participation in Unity and other upstreams closely related to Ubuntu. Michael has a strong development background, has been involved in the Ubuntu community for quite some time, has contributed to many Ubuntu projects (including loco.ubuntu.com and summit.ubuntu.com), and I am excited to welcome him to the team.
Michael starts his new role in my team in 2012. Please give him a warm welcome!
