Danese, sorry to see you go. Though not always visible, you have done a lot
:)
Thank you for your efforts!

Everybody knew it was impossible, until someone turned up who didnt know
that.

Hello,
It is with considerable regret that I inform you of my planned departure
from the Wikimedia Foundation at the end of July. I’ve really enjoyed my
time here, and I’m proud of what Wikimedia Engineering has accomplished
together.
While I tremendously enjoyed helping to build the engineering
organization,
at this point in the development of the
organization and the role, Sue,
Erik
and I have agreed that there’s no longer a fit
between the identified
near
term needs and goals of the organization, and my
own interests. I’ve
therefore decided to leave WMF as CTO, but I remain a friend of the
organization and the mission, and Sue, Erik and I talked about some ways
to
work together in coming months.
To allow for an orderly transition, I will stay on as Wikimedia’s CTO
through July. I'll be representing the Foundation and recruiting talent
at
several tech conferences, as well as engaging in
transition activites
within
the Foundation. Erik will assume the title of
Interim VP of Engineering
and
Product Development, and we’ll immediately start
the transition of
personnel
and reporting lines.
Erik will send a note about the transition shortly.
Danese
