Hi Dario and Leila,
it's been a pleasure collaborating with you in the past, and I hope
this will continue despite the changes in your roles.
Best,
Daniel

Oh goodness! Sounds like a wonderful opportunity, Dario, but oh how we will
miss you.

Congrats on the new role, Leila! You'll continue to do great things, I'm
sure.

All the best,
Heather.

Dario -- what news!  And how close that seems to your recent pushing of us
all.
How lucky the projects have been to have you building a research
constellation, for these many years.

Leila, congrats + warm wishes in your new role.

With wikilove and taxonometrics,
SJ

[Wiki-research-l] Leaving the Wikimedia Foundation, staying on the wikis

[Dario Taraborelli]

Hey all,

I've got some personal news to share.

After 8 years with Wikimedia, I have decided to leave the Foundation to
take up a new role focused on open science. This has been a difficult
decision but an opportunity arose and I am excited to be moving on to an
area that’s been so close to my heart for years.

Serving the movement as part of the Research team at WMF has been, and will
definitely be, the most important gig in my life. I leave a team of
ridiculously talented and fun people that I can’t possibly imagine not
spending all of my days with, as well many collaborators and friends in the
community who have I worked alongside. I am proud and thankful to have been
part of this journey with you all. With my departure, Leila Zia is taking
the lead of Research at WMF, and you all couldn't be in better hands.

In March, I’ll be joining CZI Science—a philanthropy based in the Bay
Area—to help build their portfolio of open science programs and technology.
I'll continue to be an ally on the same fights in my new role.

Other than that, I look forward to returning to full volunteer mode. I
started editing English Wikipedia in 2004, working on bloody chapters in
the history of London
; hypothetical
astronomy ; unsung heroes among
women in science ; and of
course natural ,
technical 
and political
disasters
.
I’ve also developed an embarrassing addiction to Wikidata, and you’ll
continue seeing me around hacking those instances of Q16521
 for a little while.

I hope our paths cross once again in the future.

Best,

Dario
