The Wikimedia Foundation has appointed Erik Moeller as its deputy director.

"I'm delighted that Erik has agreed to join the staff of the Wikimedia Foundation. Since I came to the Foundation in June, I've been impressed with Erik's dedication, his hard work, and his evangelism on behalf of Wikimedia. He's an invaluable addition to the core team," said Sue Gardner, Wikimedia Foundation executive director.

Moeller most recently worked as chief technology officer of Stichting Open Progress, and has also served two consecutive terms on the Wikimedia Board of Trustees.

He has been an active editor of the Wikimedia Foundation's projects since 2001. He has made thousands of edits and uploads, has contributed to the MediaWiki software, and helped launch Wikinews and Wikimedia
Commons.

Moeller will relocated from Berlin to San Francisco to take up his new position.
