Well, it is very difficult to add anything else to all the other comments than a very warm thank you and, indeed, a standing ovation. You have truly been the face of the community and the Wikimedia movement to both the outside world and the community and you have a set a fabulous example on how the role of the chair should be filled in.
Again, thank you!

Though it was a (very) difficult decision to make, I have decided not to be a candidate to the coming elections of the board of trustees of Wikimedia Foundation as a community representative.
Ohhhh..
Florence - I cannot overstate what a difference you've made to this community - and to me, personally. In your passionate dedication to the projects, your tireless quest to move this organisation forward, and, more than anything else, your profound humanity - you have always been my hero, and I have absolutely no equivocation about saying that publicly! It was nothing but a pleasure to work with you in the special projects committee, and everything else we've overlapped on over the years. I'd like to echo all that's been said above already, and join Lodewijk in not just a round of applause, but a standing ovation.
:-) (or should that smiley be the other way round?)
