Dear Sati, Although I don't know you well, I remember you asking questions during some meetings that I thought were good questions. I very much appreciate you posting to this list to say goodbye. I hope that this goodbye is temporary, and I hope to see you around the Wikiverse in the future.

Sati. You are and will have been one of the single smartest minds we've ever had at the Wikimedia Foundation. The Wikimedia Foundation, both as a whole and the individuals who make it up, will be lesser without your presence and your insight and it will be noticeable and felt throughout for many

I am very sad to see you leave, Sati. Your absence will be a net loss for the Foundation, but knowing that it has enabled you to grow, with all the growing pains hat growth entails, is consoling. I hope your new course takes you closer to fulfilling your dreams. See you on the dance floor,
