Get To Know Our Team Joshua Program Manager (OS Flighting) February 1, 2024 Hi, everyone! Wynn here. Today is the first in a series of quick dives into the people behind the Xbox Insider Team. We’re here with Joshua—a Program Manager and familiar face around the Wire—to chat more about the man behind the burger. Let’s give it up for the Release Notes Virtuoso himself. Joshua, how’s it going man? Haha. Going well. So, we’re sticking with that virtuoso stuff?
