Hi Sean,
thanks for your work in the past years! Although you say it was unimportant,
I think one of your values is that you managed to keep it that way.
Infrastructure that goes well and can be relied upon often is confused with
unimportant. Nonetheless we Wikimedians manage often to talk for long times
about "unimportant" thinks around the color of the bikeshed, and I think one
of your helps has been that you have been able to keep thát to a minimum.
With kind regards,
Lodewijk

I’m not a very active Wikimedian at the moment (though
hopefully someday
I shall return) and so the time has come to handover my chairship of the
IRC Group Contacts. I am ceding it to Casey Brown, but this is just a
formality, and really it is both Filip and Casey who I leave in charge
of Wikimedia’s IRC presence.
I imagine that they may well want to make some changes to how things are
done on IRC and they have my blessing in this, even if I might disagree
with the specifics. It has been a great pleasure to work with them both
for the past few years, and with James F. before that, in running our
IRC channels. IRC is not important, and it should remain unimportant,
so I don’t expect most people to appreciate this, but it has been good
to solve problems together and I think we all learnt a lot from the
experience, and, hopefully, kept IRC useful for everyone else.
