Dario,
It has been amazing to watch you develop research at the Foundation, and I mean it both as
a researcher myself, and a Wikimedian!

Hi Dario and Leila,
it's been a pleasure collaborating with you in the past, and I hope
this will continue despite the changes in your roles.
Best,
Daniel

Dario, thanks for your effort. It was a pleasure working with you, and I
am
also happy that you will stay around as a
volunteer. My congratulations
to
Leila. Whereas at this point I am rather
skeptical and sometimes vocal
about WMF in general, I have a tremendous respect for both of you.
Cheers
Yaroslav
