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.

I'm saddened to hear that. I remember when your hiring announcement was posted to wikitech-l - it hardly seems like almost 4 years ago. In that time you've become so integral to the MediaWiki community, it will be hard to imagine what it will be like without you - although I'm sure that things will be in good hands with Quim.
I wish you the best of luck with whatever you have planned next and am sure you'll find the opportunities for growth, etc that you are looking for.
