Seeing all your posts on identi.ca I could see it coming ;) Good luck at new place and hope you guys will save that Twitter monster from dying but creating tons of small personal ones like Wordpress did!
MediaWiki community will definitely miss you, but I hope that shear size of it will help it survive the transition period. Great to see you being as committed to it as you were before being paid.

I'd like to share some exciting news with you all... After four awesome years working for the Wikimedia Foundation full-time, next month I'm going to be starting a new position at StatusNet, leading development on the open-source microblogging system which powers identi.ca and other
sites.
Good luck.
Erik Moeller will be the primary point of contact for WMF tech management issues starting October 12, until the new CTO is hired. I'll support the hiring process as much as I can, and we're hoping to have a candidate in the door by the end of the year.
Is the "Senior Software Architect" position that was originally going to be opened for you to move to still planned, or will the new CTO have a simillar number of responsibilities?
