[Wikimedia-l] Announcement

Dear friends, Six years is a long time. Over the last six years, I've been privileged to be a part of so many things with you. And I'm proud of what we've done together. For the last six years, I've been a part of things that will excite me until the day that I die - the things that, together,

This is the kind of email you never want to respond to, either as a manager or as a friend. Philippe will, of course, be missed around here. I spent my first two years here literally looking him in the eye over a cube wall every day, and as the office’s most frequent explainer of all things wiki,

Hi All, I was reviwing this thread, and I have had several problems uploading some files from the National Library of Chile (150 to 200 MB files). The first problem with the chunck upload system is that it showed to me the following error **. I entered on preferences and turned on the option for

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Announcement

Thank you, Philippe. Speaking of courage, I admire your ability to persevere through thick and thin, 24/7, and your going above and beyond the call of duty on more than one occasion. I hope that your rest is restorative. Wikimedia is better, stronger, safer, and more resilient because of your

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Announcement

It is really sad to see you leave, but your health must be your priority, and not the community as it has been for the past six years. Everything you have done was always in the best interests of the wider community and that will never be forgotten. You've always worked on opening new doors for

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Announcement

Very sorry to hear that, Philippe. From the perspective of an outsider to the WMF and many of the "interior processes" of the Wikimedia community, you have always been a ray of light and a source of insight, knowledge and order. Your presence in a discussion, debate or process has always elevated

Congratulations to Maggie, and I'm sure she'll do a great job... but Phillippe, I'm deeply sorry to see you go. Out of everyone I've ever met, you have to be nearly the closest (if not the actual closest) thing that exists to a living repository of Wikimedia's history (and connections.) I don't
