So today is a good day. Today is one of those days where lots of hard work finally pays off, allowing you to step back and be proud of something. I have been dropping subtle hints at various speaking opps over the past few months that some significant changes are coming to Telefonica developer activity; well today I’m pleased to share one of those milestones. We have launched a new blog, replacing the four existing regional blogs we had covering the UK, Spain, Mexico and Argentina. Not only does this mean we dramatically simplify things, but it means that we finally have a technical platform to create something that actually does the job we need it to do! You may recall we brought Debi Jones into the Telefonica team a while back, and it’s great that all the hard work that Debi has been putting in behind the scenes since joining the family is now public. Debi is also building out an awesome team of contributors so I really hope the blog becomes a valuable industry resource for all working in the mobile & web development field. I’ve penned a brief summary of the year to date on the new blog, so you can read more there. Check it out, sign up as a member and start making some noise!

A quick introductory post to formally welcome Debi Jones to the Telefonica Developer Community team. Debi's role will be to lead the editorial and community management strategy, to fuel our growing ambition in the Developer space. Many of you will already know Debi, and you can see her work on her personal blog: www.mobilejones.com This is a great win for the team and I'm really excited about the contribution Debi will make to help establish Telefonica in the Developer community. Debi dives straight into the deep end, pulling together our coverage of Mobile World Congress. Keep an eye on my Twitter feed for the URL of the site.
