Re: [Wikitech-ambassadors] Tech News transitioning to the CEP team

Hello, I wanted to let you know that the Community Engagement (Product) team (CEP) [1] is going to gradually replace me as primary writer and coordinator for Tech News [2]. When Tomasz Kozłowski (User:odder) and I started Tech News over two years ago, I didn't think it would grow to being translated to nearly 15 languages every week, or to being distributed to so many subscribers and community pages. Tech News was originally created as a way to connect the two communities of developers and content contributors, and I think it's done that job pretty well. In the meantime, the CEP team was created, and they have a very similar mission. They already manage very similar newsletters (like the one for VisualEditor) and it makes a lot of sense for them to also coordinate Tech News. I wanted to send this email to let you know about this change, so that you're not surprised when you start seeing emails about Tech News coming from the CEP team. Johan Jönsson (Johan/Julle) will be the primary point of contact for Tech News, and he'll also be working with Nick Wilson (Quiddity). I hope that you'll be as supportive to them as you have been to me over the years :) Which brings me to my last, and most important point: Thank you for all your help on Tech News over the past two years. Whether you helped me draft the newsletter, or you diligently translated it every week, or you notified your community about upcoming changes: I'm very thankful for the time you have dedicated to Tech News. I'll still be around on the mailing lists and the wikis during and after the transition, and I hope to continue to work with you on other projects.
