Dear friends and colleagues,
I’ve had the amazing privilege of serving this movement in a staff
capacity
for the past 4 ½ years, but I’ve now decided to move on from my role at
the
Wikimedia Foundation.
Transparency, integrity, community and free knowledge remain deeply
important to me, and I believe I will be better placed to represent those
values in a volunteer capacity at this time.
Siko... I was sad to read about your departure.
And like Pete, I noted your words.
It is yet another crumb in a trail of worrying elements : the (too)
numerous departures within staff, the staff survey, the recent board
members cases, some staff members mentionning threats when expressing
publicly their opinion, the change of tone in the glassdoor reports, the
Knight grant, and so on. It is worrysome.
Florence
I am and will always remain a
Wikimedian, so you'll still see me around the
projects (User:Seeeko),
hopefully with renewed energy and joy in volunteering.
This movement has become my home in so many unexpected ways, and I’m truly
honored to have learned from so many of you. It was an amazing experience
to have partnered with smart, bold, and dedicated community folks to
experiment with projects like Teahouse, IdeaLab, Inspire, Individual
Engagement Grants, and Reimagining Grants. I’ve seen you create some
really
incredible content, ideas, tools, programs, processes, committees and
organizations, all in the service of free knowledge.
I expect my last day to be Thursday, February 25th. I have full confidence
in Maggie Dennis's abilities to lead the Community Engagement Department,
and I trust that my team will remain available to support the community’s
needs for grants and other resources throughout this time of transition.
Much love,
Siko
