welcome paul rouget

As John mentioned I’ve taken over helping to run the Evangelism group inside of Mozilla.  One of the best moments I’ve had in this new role has been to offer a full-time role to Paul Rouget.

Paul has been extremely active in the Mozilla community in Europe, particularly in France.  Those of you who who have been to events in Europe probably know him.  He has an incredible depth of knowledge about XUL and a lot of the rest of the Mozilla platform and has spent quite a bit of time hacking on Thunderbird.

But what really sets Paul apart from others is his passion for Mozilla and his willingness to organize people around it.  We’ve had some excellent people in Europe who have Evangelism in their blood, most notably Tristan, but Paul enjoys that special mix of technical skill, community organization and passion for the project that we love to have on our team.  It’s going to be great to have him as part of the Mozilla community full time.

As a first task I’ve asked him to help us put together technical information for people transitioning add-ons to Firefox 3.1.

Welcome, Paul!
