As I've written elsewhere: This is a big loss for the Wikimedia universe. Thank you so much, Sumana, for all you did for us! You virtually re-defined the role of a communtiy manager :)

All the best for you future,

Markus

P.S.: I recommend reading Sumanas blog post about her reasoning.

Forwarding this here, as Sumana's role seems relevant to a wider audience than just wikitech-l :)

Thanks Sumana for all your work!

I write this email with regret to let you know that I've decided to leave the Wikimedia Foundation after nearly four years working here, and that my last day will be 30 September.

I go into my reasoning and plans in this personal blog post: http://www.harihareswara.net/sumana/2014/09/12/0

I'm grateful for what I've learned here and will take these lessons wherever I go. And I've made many friends here; thank you. I'll remain [[User:Sumanah]] in any volunteer work I do onwiki. Quim Gil will be the person to contact for any loose threads I leave behind; still, if you have questions for me, the next two weeks would be a good time to ask them.
