Dear friends, Dear friends of open and free knowledge,
Let us raise the bar, To the level of positive and constructive, Don't bite the newcomers, Assume good faith. Keep a good balance, Between work and life, Don't do overtime without prior authorization, Enjoy your weekend. Meet friends and family, Engage in meaningful discourse, Go on a hike, walking or biking, Enjoy fresh air. Find a mentor and a coach, If you don't have one, Start journaling for a daily Reflection on accomplishment, And to record your gratitude. Be nice to your boss, The next one maybe worse. Acknowledge that we live, In a complex and confusing world, Rapidly changing both within, And outside the Wikimedia movement. From my perspective I do not, Question the ability of the BoT, To rubberstamp decisions based on, Recommendations by the FDC. Join the pilot or experiment at, Https://discourse.wmflabs.org , And set your preferences for Categories to watch or unwatch, And mute whatever you like. There are so many positions unfillled, That I don't recommend to open more, Before I have asked suggestions, From each of you for who would be: A great CTO at the Wikipedia Foundation A great leader of Community Or someone to fill the BoT seat, Vacated by Arnnon Geshuri.
