hi, Since I am one of the few people in the movement who spoke to Arnnon face-to-face, I want to write that he is a really modest, while sparking-bright person, explicitly enthusiastic about Wikimedia and free knowledge.
I want to thank him for his maturity and confirming in action the willingness to support our movement in any way it needs. While it was the right thing to do, it could not have been easy, and I have to say I really respect that. best, Dariusz On Wed, Jan 27, 2016 at 4:44 PM, Kat Walsh <k...@mindspillage.org> wrote: > Thank you, Patricio. > > And thank you, Arnnon.
