Fabrice, you may not recall my name or know me well, but your thoughtful
contributions to Wikimedia comms over the past years have been greatly
appreciated. Seeing your name appear in my inbox has always been an
indication of something worth reading and giving attention to.
I wish you the best for the future, and hope you appreciate that you will
be missed.
Very best wishes,
Stevie

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
