After reading your blog post, I must agree with this: "And I'd like to [...] exclude destructive communication from my life (yes, there's some amount of burnout on toxic people and entitlement)."
I wish that in your new environment you find a better environment to grow professionally with less attrition.Perhaps here someday we'll realize that the problem was not the software, not the money, not the organization, and not the lack of contributors, but the failure to understand in our community that humanity, wisdom and virtue have to be above everything else.
All the best in you new job, Micru

I write this email with regret to let you know that I've decided to leave the Wikimedia Foundation after nearly four years working here, and that my last day will be 30 September.
I go into my reasoning and plans in this personal blog post: http://www.harihareswara.net/sumana/2014/09/12/0
I'm grateful for what I've learned here and will take these lessons wherever I go. And I've made many friends here; thank you. I'll remain [[User:Sumanah]] in any volunteer work I do onwiki. Quim Gil will be the person to contact for any loose threads I leave behind; still, if you have questions for me, the next two weeks would be a good time to ask them.
