Happy Friday!
As you know, I launched a "listening tour" in September to spend time
engaging and really understanding the wikiverse before I formally joined as
the Wikimedia Foundation CEO in January. Thank you for taking the time to
share with me! My plan is to publish reflections at the end of January
about what I heard and learned.
For now, I wanted to give you a quick sense of who else I heard from so
that you have an idea. Attached is a document with the headlines: I spoke
to 275 people across 55 countries and joined 17 community-organized events.
I learned about so many different sources of motivations, stories,
projects, challenges and opportunities all over the world. I appreciate you
making this journey possible for me!
I am ready to take my December break starting tomorrow and officially start
in January!
See you then,
Maryana
