Erik,
thank you! Thank you for so many, many things. Even though we did not
always agree in all details, I was always very happy to know to have
someone who believes in the same ideals and who is effective in promoting
actions towards common goals.
WMF will be a different place without you.
Again, thank you for your service to our vision,
Denny

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.
/me looks at the MediaWiki logo [1], thinking that perhaps *now* really
starts to be the time to update it... ;)
I’m very interested in the technical challenges
of federated
collaboration
See you in the Federation, then (pun intended, but below two layers of joke
I'm serious). Something tells me that it will be very difficult for you to
stop contributing to Wikimedia in innovative ways. When you joined, the
innovative way of contributing was from the inside. Chances are that
nowadays the innovative collaboration will come increasingly from the
outside, through APIs and, er, federated collaboration. Let's have a
conversation with beer, or vice versa.
But what I'm really really curious about is what Erik Möller will do when
he recovers his individual freedom, not having to act and speak on behalf
of hundred employees and 'the movement'. Ten years is a lot of time [2],
but then again not so much. Thank you, good luck, and please send a URL to
subscribe to or watch.
