Dear Patricio and Wikimedia Argentina team, On behalf of all of us at Wikimedia Brasil -- and as a friend -- congratulations, Patricio! It’s great to see you stepping into this role again. You were one of the very first persons out of Brazil I met in the Global Wikimedia Movement, and I am thankful for your initial support over ten years ago! Your experience and passion for the movement are a real inspiration. We’re excited to keep working together and cheering you on from this side of the border!
