[Wikimedia-l] A fond farewell, for now

[Jay Walsh]

Dear Wikimedia friends,

Some of you may know that I've recently stepped down from my role as senior
director of communications at WMF to pursue a new direction.

I was invited to share some thoughts on the Wikimedia blog (a blog born
some fiveish years ago as one of the first big comms projects). I was happy
to do so - these are sentiments similar to those I shared with my
Foundation colleagues in September.

Thanks for everything - it has been an enlightening transition so far, and
I look forward to following the movement's adventures.

All the best,
Jay

Re: [Wikimedia-l] When was the first edit-a-thon(s)?

Hi Sarah and others;
Just letting you all know that we had a proper live edit marathon in
Bangalore, India in November 2010.
