Despite all the arguments we had, I always respect the wikimedian you are, and 
with hindsight... even more 


Hope to see you soon!

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Goodbye as the German president of the Dutch chapter

[Pavel Richter]

Dear Ziko, thank you for everything you have done, both concerning the
Netherlands and your international activities. We did not always shared the
same views, but you were always open for debate and arguments. And you were
always a honest and friendly person, a true Wikimedian.

Whatever your next endeavour will be, they can be happy to have your
support.

All the best,

Pavel

[Wikimedia-l] Goodbye as the German president of the Dutch chapter

[Ziko van Dijk]

Dear colleagues, collaborators and friends of free knowledge,

After three eventful years I left the board of Wikimedia Nederland;
yesterday was the General Assembly in Utrecht. This means a 'goodbye'.

In this time, I had the privilege and pleasure to work with many great
people in many different organisations. We saw a lot of small steps
and some bigger ones directed to our common goal, the support of free
knowledge. Certainly, not everything we as a movement or parts of the
movement was achieved, though.

Between many WMNL members and me, there were two grades of separation:
coming from the humanities, my geekiness differs a little from the
average Wikipedianess; having the German Wikipedia as my home wiki, I
was never a very active or 'true' part of the Dutch editing community.
And when I quoted in my speeches from medieval quests or Prussian
literary realism, I received therefore some strange looks from some
members.

But I remain firmly convinced that good governance and respect have no
nationality. Indeed, stroopwafels do have, and so I adopted the Dutch
custom to bring them with me to Wikimedian meetings abroad.

Wikimedia Nederland has experienced and overcome a difficult period of
transition. Office space and employees, more members including more
members without Wikipedia background, more activities, more money,
more responsibility; more need for an association to mature and focus
on what is necessary (and not always easy, cool or fun). We achieved
that as a collective, slower than previously expected, but with the
appropriate pride and good feelings about the future.

Goodbye - and Hello: I am looking forward to see many of you again at
whatever wiki, chat or real life meeting.

Kind regards
Ziko
