The gift from the Brin Wojcicki Foundation is of a little bit of interest, because its public announcement[3][5] came a mere three days after the Wikimedia Foundation said[9]
I see we're moving the goalposts back to an earlier conspiracy theory, I guess that's success. The Brin Wojcicki Foundation actually made their first gift to WMF in the 2010-11 fiscal year, just at a lower level. [1] I was in the first meeting with them back in 2010, as well.
From everything I recall, they were a wonderful partner, and were
simply interested in supporting Wikimedia's existing activities and plans.
