Dario, thanks for your effort. It was a pleasure working with you, and I
am
also happy that you will stay around as a volunteer. My congratulations
to
Leila. Whereas at this point I am rather skeptical and sometimes vocal about WMF in general, I have a tremendous respect for both of you.
Cheers Yaroslav

Dario -- what news! And how close that seems to your recent pushing
of us
all. How lucky the projects have been to have you building a research constellation, for these many years.
Leila, congrats + warm wishes in your new role.
With wikilove and taxonometrics, SJ

Hey all,
I've got some personal news to share.
After 8 years with Wikimedia, I have decided to leave the Foundation
to
take up a new role focused on open science. This has been a difficult decision but an opportunity arose and I am excited to be moving on
to an
area that’s been so close to my heart for years.
Serving the movement as part of the Research team at WMF has been,
and
will definitely be, the most important gig in my life. I leave a
team of
ridiculously talented and fun people that I can’t possibly imagine
not
spending all of my days with, as well many collaborators and friends
in
the
community who have I worked alongside. I am proud and thankful to
have
been
part of this journey with you all. With my departure, Leila Zia is
taking
the lead of Research at WMF, and you all couldn't be in better hands.
In March, I’ll be joining CZI Science—a philanthropy based in the Bay Area—to help build their portfolio of open science programs and
technology.
I'll continue to be an ally on the same fights in my new role.
Other than that, I look forward to returning to full volunteer mode.
I
started editing English Wikipedia in 2004, working on bloody
chapters in
the history of London <
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smithfield,_London%3E;
hypothetical
astronomy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planet_Nine; unsung heroes among women in science https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susan_Potter;
and
of course natural https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_South_Napa_earthquake,
technical
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/October_2016_Dyn_cyberattack and
political
disasters <
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_interference_in_the_2016_United_States...
. I’ve also developed an embarrassing addiction to Wikidata, and you’ll continue seeing me around hacking those instances of Q16521 https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q16521 for a little while.
I hope our paths cross once again in the future.
Best,
Dario
