Project Manager change at Wikimedia Community Ireland - Wikimedia-l

24 Aug 2023

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(a)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)
