Dear Ziko,
Thanks so much for your kind words, which mean a lot to me. :)
I too have enjoyed working with you and appreciate all that you do for our movement.
I will miss our collaborations and hope we’ll get a chance to work together again down the
line.
For now, I hope to be able to contribute new content as a volunteer, now that I will have
more time for this type of work.
And you are in good hands with Ed Erhart for your Wikimedia blog post — I’m really
impressed with his work and he’s a great team player.
Be well,
Fabrice

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
