Chad,

On this last release email, I just want to thank you for your tireless contributions in the past years both as a Wikipedian (2005), a volunteer developer (2008?) and as a WMF employee (2010?). Your commitment to open source and our projects has been amazing and you moved us forward while at the same time doing the stuff that just needs to happen with a project like this. You didn't shy from controversial or difficult discussions and stood up for things that mattered. I've also had the pleasure of meeting you in person at events and you always managed to light up the room with your joy and enthusiasm.

Hope to see you lurking on IRC and maybe some more Wikipedia edits ?

Smiley, no tears. DJ

On a personal note, this will be the last release that I shall be handling. As many probably know I left Wikimedia this month for a new career and as such I won't have the time to dedicate to releasing MediaWiki anymore. Whomever picks up the torch will do fantastic. See you all around the Internet :)
