Dear Geoff,
Wikimedia Ukraine had a pleasure to work with you and your team closely at
least twice: when we wanted to make sure that our community event logo was
not breaking any rules and when we had a dispute about Wiki Loves Monuments
in Crimea. The last issue was really big to tackle amiably, of course, but
it is not a point here. I am grateful for your work and I wish you good
luck in the new chapters of your life!
Best regards,
Ilya Korniiko
Chair, Wikimedia Ukraine

Hey,
I've said that privately earlier this week, I'll reiterate publicly.
Thank you so much for all the work and energy you've put into the movement.
I'm sad we won't get to work much together but really happy you've Landes a
great job at YouTube!
Of course any time you come to France I'd be happy to have you and enjoy
wine in my garden :)
Good luck for your new job, even though you won't need any!
And I hope we'll get to see you roaming in the movement in the future.
Christophe
