Hello. I have bad news, the kind of news we never want to have. Our
friend and colleage Elena Sanz (user ElsaBornFree) passed away last
night.
Elena Sanz was a strong, intelligent and brilliant woman. She joined
Wikimedia movement in 2014 and after two years she because secretary of
Wikimedia España, possition she had till now.
Many of you met her in many conferences and events, such as Wikimedia
Conferences, Wikimanias or Iberoconfs, but also meeting for advocacy in
the EU, the Wikipedia+education conference in Donostia, next to her home
town. A very active person, this has been a huge shock for all of us.
If you want to leave your condolences, you can write in a page created
for that on Spanish Wikipedia.[1] We wrote also a blog post dedicated to
her memory.[2]
As a president of Wikimedia España and a friend of her, I want to
express our condolences on behalf of Wikimedia España to his family and
friends. We will always remember her.
