Hi Wes!
Thanks for your answer :) I understand that, however, like MZMcBride explained, Rob was
involved in so many things, and it would be nice, if the community get at least an
information, that Rob doesn't work for the foundation anymore, so the community could
react accordingly, if we're waiting for RobLa's response. And it would be even
more interesting, as MZMcBride already asked, what happens to his position in
co-organizing the developer summit, especially as he was (iirc) part of the "programs
committee"? :)
Best,
Florian

Betreff: Re: [Wikitech-l] What happened to RobLa?
Hello Florian,
RobLa has departed the Foundation. While people sometimes supply a message it is left to
the individual to decide how they choose to do so. It’s inappropriate for me or any of
his other colleagues to discuss them on his behalf. Rob has been with us for over six
years, and he will be missed. I hope we will continue to see him in a volunteer capacity.
Regards,
Wes

Hi all,
just a moment ago I noticed, that Rob Lanphier seems to (silently)
does not work for the WMF anymore? At least based on a comment on his
WMF-account's talk page[1] and a commit in gerrit[2] it seems he
doesn't work at the WMF anymore.
However: What happened? I haven't seen any public info about this? Can
someone explain what happened? I'm really interested in it, as I
really like RobLa, both as a person (at least from what I saw/read so
far) and the professional /technical input and things he did. Would be
nice, if someone could bring some light into the darkness :P
Best,
Florian
