> The JuMP steering committee would like to recognize Issam Tahiri both for his leadership and service as a local organizer for the JuMP-dev workshop at the University of Bordeaux this year, and for his technical contributions to the MathOptInterface API. Issam arranged the venue, coffee breaks, and recordings for the workshop that had 19 talks and over 40 attendees. The workshop’s success is thanks in large part to his work. He also contributed to or supervised updates for the Cbc, Clp, CPLEX, and GLPK solver wrappers to the new MathOptInterface API. Issam has had a clear impact on JuMP since he joined the community last year.

Thanks @IssamT and congrats!
