Dear Wikimedians,
I have some important news to share with you. Erik Moeller will be leaving
the Wikimedia Foundation on April 30th. Last week he let me know that he
decided it is time for him to explore his passions beyond our walls.
I want to thank Erik. For more than a decade, he gave his all

Thank you, Q577729!
Thank you for what you did for Wikimedia in general, for the Wikimedia
Foundation in particular, for Free Knowledge as a whole.
And thank you for thinking and talking about Wikidata, long before
Wikimedia Deutschland did; and for pointing the right people towards the
right
Hi all --
As Lila noted, since January 2008 I've worn many hats at the Wikimedia
Foundation, and in the six years before that I was a Wikipedian,
MediaWiki developer, and member of the WMF board of trustees. I became
involved in Wikipedia when I was 22 years old. :) The Wikimedia

I know you will find an interesting and awesome next chapter but it is
certainly a bittersweet pill to see you heading out. I've enjoyed working
alongside you for the past 5 years from debates about jimbo banners to what
show we should play at Science Tuesday. You have been a huge presence in
Hi Erik, best wishes on your new journey. Two things I am grateful to you
for are the development of VisualEditor into a very viable product, and the
support of HHVM implementation.
Lila, will all of Product and Engineering now report to Damon or are there
plans to recruit a replacement for Erik?

awesome amount.
Thanks much for your commitment, your vision and heartfelt desire to constantly

Editing-wise, I think that's right. We also have Damon and Luis who I
believe have considerable open source credentials outside of Wikimedia.
Also, at the director level, I like and respect Siko who has extensive
experience coordinating Wikimedia community-facing projects.
