The Mastercoin Foundation asked me to review the candidates and select a "Smart Property Lead / Evangelist".
I want to thank all the people that applied for the Mastercoin Foundation Smart Property Lead position. I was glad to talk with each of you individually and hear how passionate you are for contributing to the Mastercoin open source project.

After much consideration I've selected Taariq Lewis for the position. Many of you might recognize Taariq from his interview on CCTV. He is passionate about Bitcoin and developing one of the first projects on top of the Mastercoin Protocol smart property feature.

Taariq will be serving at the point person for the Smart Property feature in the sense that he will be talking with other developers that want to build on top of the MSC protocol smart property feature, gathering community input, and bridging a dialog between the awesome developers coding it up and those that want to use the feature.

Here is his Linkedin profile to see his back ground: www.linkedin.com/in/taariq Preferred channels:
Email: taariq.lewis@gmail.com
Phone: (646) 479 - 6098

(Yes I asked if I could post these publicly)

Thanks again to Taariq for offering his valuable time serving the community in this position.

Great news. Congrats Taariq.

Thanks for the congrats! I've just spent the last 3 hours reading EVERYTHING on Mastercoin's amazing growth.

Wow!

Congratulations Taariq!
This might be too soon, but I'm interested what are the first/next steps for the near future (e.g. 1-8 weeks)?

Also I'd be interested in hearing if you have any thoughts yet on how could you keep us informed on how things are going? I see communication in general as a huge challenge in the Mastercoin program currently; the best way to try to keep yourself up to date on the status is read the 100+ page "Exodus address" thread.
This of course is a natural side-effect when you have hardcore engineers running a project, but I wish you'll keep communication towards the community a priority, and set a great example for the other sub-projects.

Congrats again!

How about an official twitter account for us to follow?
