Folks,

We are really excited to have Alex Arslan join the Julia project as our full time community manager. Alex will be maintaining our community infrastructure and helping with various Julia related things. He has already been doing much of this, and we are glad to have his full attention. Please welcome him.

In addition, he will be working on revamping our website, and reviewing community assets with an eye towards improving and encouraging diversity in the project.

Those of you who’ve interacted with Alex, will already know that he is unfailingly friendly, welcoming and that he embodies the spirit of the project – as we aspire for it to be. He has already been acting as a de facto ambassador for the project in many ways, and this just makes it official.
