You +may have seen her around in issues and pull requests on the various Jekyll +repositories. She started as a contributor, then joined the Core team as our +community lead. Olivia joined the Jekyll Core Team with experience in the +Node.js community, both online and as a volunteer organizer with JSConf EU. + +In my conversations with Olivia, it is clear that Jekyll's vision of +simplicity for the user ([no magic!](/philosophy#1-no-magic)) and letting +users' [content be king](/philosphy#3-content-is-king) will remain a top +priority. In just the last few weeks as the transition has been occurring, +we have seen some incredible work on performance that will make future +versions of Jekyll work better at scale. She will be prioritizing work on +innovative improvements to make Jekyll that much better for all of us. +Olivia balances an eye for quality with the need for shipping well. + +When Tom Preston-Werner met me at GitHub HQ 2.0 in January 2013 to pass on +the torch, I could never have dreamed of all the amazing experiences this +community would share with me over the next 5 years. From visiting @qrush +in Buffalo, NY for a hack night on Jekyll to attending a Jekyll planning +session hosted by @benbalter at GitHub to Google Summer of Code which gave +us jekyll-admin, I am eternally grateful to all of you for the opportunity +to lead this excellent community. I'm confident Olivia will continue to +lead Jekyll to even greater heights. + +As always, Happy Jekylling! + +Parker + +*Curious about who else runs this show?
