I had a meeting with Paul from WMF-Human-Resources. Now they have all the information they need to publish the job. They will prepare the page in Greenhouse, I will review, and after @RobLa-WMF's OK we will publish it.

@Rfarrand, could you help promoting the link to this job opening in the MediaWiki social media channels, please?

Of course - will take care of that now. :)

After scanning 41 candidates, now the initiative corresponds to HR, who will contact some promising candidates proposing them some tasks (T663), and will arrange first interviews between the successful candidates and me.

Setting Normal priority only because I'm more in position of sitting and waiting for events to react.

Time to draft announcement.

My draft is now under review. I'm still hoping to send the announcement next Monday 5th, but I'm not sure whether we will have the approvals required by then, considering that we have about 8/16 working hours left this week, and so many people on holidays.
