Dear Rebecca

It has been a great pleasure getting to know you over the past few years. Your commitment to the work of Wikimedia in Ireland and beyond, as well as your deep knowledge and understanding of your local community, has been an inspiration. Wishing you all the very best in your future endeavours, and I'm glad to hear you will remain involved as a volunteer.

I have no doubt that many of my colleagues will also want to wish you well; but on behalf of Wikimedia UK, thank you and all the very best.

Lucy

Dear all,

After almost 6 and half years in post, I am stepping down as the Project Manager of Wikimedia Community Ireland https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Community_Ireland from this week. It has been a joy and a privilege to be the first staff member for WCI, and I am excited to see how my successor will grow the group further in the coming years. We hope to introduce them to the community very soon.

I have had the pleasure of onboarding the second-ever staff member of WCI this past month, Amy Coe. Amy is our Irish Language Officer, and will be working with the Irish language community in Ireland and beyond to strengthen and develop Vicipeid and the Irish language across Wikimedia projects. You can contact her at: oifigeach.gaeilge@wikimedia.ie

I will be returning to my former role as a volunteer with WCI, and I am looking forward to continuing to work on our various photography competitions and supporting the new Project Manager in their work. WCI is 10 years old next year, and I'm excited to celebrate that milestone with you all!

Thank you to everyone who has helped me and WCI over the past years. It was a real joy to meet many of you at events (in-person and virtual!), and to count so many as good friends. If you are ever visiting Ireland, please reach out!

Slán agus beannacht, Rebecca (User:Smirkybec)
