Dear Erik,

Hi all --
As Lila noted, since January 2008 I've worn many hats at the Wikimedia
Foundation, and in the six years before that I was a Wikipedian,
MediaWiki developer, and member of the WMF board of trustees. I became
involved in Wikipedia when I was 22 years old. :)
Every so often when we talk, you
will surprise me by telling me about
one more thing in the Wikimedia universe that you thought of or
created or were involved in over the past many years that I didn't
realize you had a role in. It seems the list is never-ending.
I would find it
difficult to come up with something Wikimedia-related in
which Erik *was not* somehow involved in one way or another. Though I'm
sure there must be obscure corners where he hasn't been active directly,
his energy, commitment, and appreciation of the movement's potential
make for a pretty pervasive influence. We have all benefited from his
ideas and his hard work in building what we have achieved up to now.
