Dear Friends of Free Knowledge,
today is my last day at the office as the former Executive Director of Wikimedia Deutschland.
For 2012 days, I had the great opportunity and the tremendous pleasure to work for one of the greatest causes I can think of: Free Knowledge for everybody. What Wikimedia does is nothing short of changing the world, one edit at a time.
I reflect a little about this in this blog post: http://blog.pavelrichter.de/2012-days-later/
Thank you all for the best time I had in my (professional) life. Of course, while I leave my job, I will not leave the Wikimedia movement. Looking forward to this!
Cheers,
Pavel
Goodbye Pavel, it has been a pleasure. And as you said last Chapters Conference, please take care of yourself. Of course, we hope to see you around :-)

Dear Pavel,
you have always been a great ally and an able partner in serving this movement. Whenever our paths crossed, it has always been a joy to work with you, and your professional and yet warm attitude was a constant in any room you were in.
Best wishes in your next career steps, and see you around the wikis. :)

Dear Pavel (& everyone)
Its hard to describe the incredible positive impact that you have had on WMDE and the Wikimedia Movement as a whole. While every affiliates contributes differently it is fair to say that under your leadership WMDE has contributed a lot to our movement by facilitating communication between the different affiliates (including all the work on the Wikimedia Conferences and the chapters dialogue project). And of course Wikidata is an incredible project which I cannot praise enough :)
On a more individual note: I think the way you remained on board in order to facilitate a good transition within WMDE says a lot about your incredible character and dedication to our goals!
Very happy to hear that its not a goodbye, and hope to see your impact in the next challenge you choose to take on!
Thank you!
