Hi everyone,
In the past years, I have with much pleasure worked on making Wiki Loves Monuments a success, by supporting the international community that organizes this great competition as well as possible.
As we're wrapping up the ongoing competition but also approaching the time to submit our plans for next year in about a month, it is time for me to evaluate my own role. After ten editions over the course of eleven years, I'm taking a step back in the international team, and will not be part of the core team. This way, I hope to be able to refocus my energy and efforts in new ways, and allow the international team at the same time to rejuvenate.
The international team will be looking for a few additional members to join them, and you can expect more communication from them over the coming while. If you already think of someone, please do reach out to Stephen, who will be leading the effort to welcome new colleagues on the team.
In a funny way, I'm excited for the next year in a new role, and what the rejuvenation may bring for the international team. I hope you are too, and that some of you will step up to the challenge, and help out! I'll remain involved in smaller ways hopefully, and will of course keep following everything!
With much love and warmth,
Lodewijk
