Hello everyone,
After three great years working at the foundation, the time has come to say goodbye.
I will be leaving WMF at the end of June, to spend more time with my family, focus on
personal art projects and consult part-time on worthy causes.
I would like to thank all the community and team members I have had the pleasure to work
with over the years. It has been an honor to serve our movement together — and to help our
contributors share free knowledge with each other and the world.
I’m particularly grateful to Katherine Maher and our WMF communications team for being
such wonderful collaborators. I really enjoyed working with them to manage and edit the
Wikimedia blog, help grow our team and publish some great stories together, to celebrate
the heroes of our movement.
Going forward, WMF's Juliet Barbara will manage the Wikimedia blog, in close
collaboration with Ed Erhart. As many of you know, Ed is the former editor-in-chief of the
Wikipedia Signpost and has now joined our team for the summer. I've worked with him
for nearly a month now and find him uniquely qualified for this project. Starting today,
please contact them directly with any questions about the blog (they are Cc:d on this
message).
After June 30, you can reach me at <fabriceflorin(a)gmail.com> — or follow me on
Twitter ( @fabriceflorin ) or on my blog (
http://fabriceflorin.com ).
The last three years have been an incredible experience for me, and I am grateful for all
that I have learned from so many of you. You’ve been an inspiration to me and I have many
fond memories of our time together. I wish you all the best with the next chapter of the
Wikimedia movement and can’t wait to see what you’ll come up with next.
Best regards,
Fabrice
