This is my last email to wikitech-l as a Wikimedia Foundation staffer; at some point in the future, after a long break, I may re-join as a volunteer. Thanks for the kind goodbyes you've sent me, publicly and privately, over the past few weeks. And thanks for the work you've done and continue to do, to help enable every human being to freely share in the sum of all human knowledge. I'll leave you with one of my favorite songs, "Somebody Will."

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.
