When I start from this page:

and I click the wizard.wikiedu.org

link I arrive in a page which says:
This is somewhat embarrassing, isn’t it?Is this the aim?

[Wikimedia-l] Au Revoir from WMUK CEO

[Jon Davies]

With some sadness I have to tell you that I will be leaving Wikimedia UK,
as an employee, if not as a volunteer, at the end of the year. I have
achieved what I set out to do and leave WMUK in a good state. I now need to
look for new challenges.

I was the first chief executive and it has been an amazing three years
watching the chapter grow and develop. It has not always been smooth
sailing but we have come through it together in good shape. Wikimania
proved how professional we had become and the positive feedback from the
participants makes all the work we put in worthwhile.

My heartfelt thanks to everyone in the community, particularly the
volunteers who are at the heart of all we do, my great colleagues at the
Foundation and the loyal and hardworking staff at WMUK who have supported
me so ably and with such good humour over the years.

My best wishes go to my successor in all they seek to achieve.

Cyhoeddiad gan Jon

Gyda pheth tristwch rwy'n eich hysbysu y byddaf yn gadael Wikimedia UK, fel
cyflogai, os nad

fel gwirfoddolwr, ar ddiwedd y flwyddyn. Dw i wedi cyflawni'r hyn roeddwn
wedi'i obeithio a dw

i'n gadael WMUK ar delerau da. Edrychaf ymlaen rwan am sialensau newydd. Fi
oedd y Prif Weithredwr cyntaf ac mae'r dair blynedd diwethaf wedi bod yn
hollol anhygoel,

wrth i mi weld y siaptr yn tyfu a datblygu. Doedd y daith bob amser ddim yn
llyfn, ond daethom drwyddi'n y diwedd yn ddianaf! Profodd Wikimania inni
aeddfedu mewn modd proffesiynol a chafwyd adborth adeiladol gan y cyfranwyr
­oedd yn gwneud yr holl waith yn bleser.

Carwn ddiolch o waelod fy ngalon i bawb o fewn ein cymuned, yn enwedig y
gwirfoddolwyr sy'n sylfaen i'n gwaith, fy nghydweithwyr bendigedig yn
Sylfaen Wikimedia a'r staff sydd wedi bod mor driw i mi, wedi fy nghefnogi
mor effeithiol ac wedi gweithio mor arbennig o galed dros y blynyddoedd ­ a
hynny gyda hiwmor iach. Dymunaf pob llwyddiant i f'olynydd ym mhopeth y
ceisiant ei gyflawni.

Jon.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Au Revoir from WMUK CEO

[Michael Maggs]

Further to Jon's announcement that he will be leaving Wikimedia UK at the end 
of this year to pursue new challenges, I would like on behalf of the board to 
express our thanks for the exceptional levels of passion and commitment that 
Jon has brought to his role as CEO over the last three years. 

Jon has been instrumental in urging WMUK and our sister chapters to aim for 
higher levels of professionalism, and has demonstrated the results of 
professionalism and hard work by delivering WMUK's widely-respected 
contribution to Wikimania London.  We are proud of what was achieved at 
Wikimania, and Jon can justifiably be proud of his invaluable personal 
contribution to that success.

The WMUK board will be taking some time to consider Jon's replacement, and will 
be consulting widely over the next few months.  To provide continuity we will 
in the meantime be appointing an interim CEO, and we are extremely pleased that 
Jon has agreed to the interim CEO starting work this month to allow a smooth 
hand-over period up to the end of the year.

We wish Jon all the best in his new chosen role, and we look forward to 
continuing to collaborate with him as a friend and volunteer.

Regards

Michael

Embarassing indeed! There was a misformed link in the blog post. It

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Au Revoir from WMUK CEO

[Chris Keating]

I'd like to add my own thanks to Jon - for doing so much to transform the
scale and impact of Wikimedia UK's work over the last three years,  and for
your invaluable steadiness and tenacity in dealing with the very
significant challenges that the chapter's faced during that time.

Many best wishes for the future!

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Au Revoir from WMUK CEO

[Jan-Bart de Vreede]

Hi John (&All)

On behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation let me give you a heartfelt thanks for 
all that you have done for both Wikimedia UK and the Wikimedia Movement as a 
whole. Being the first Chief Executive is always a hard job and requires a 
positive attitude and lots of energy in order to motivate people to join you on 
a risky journey. Having made a good start with WMUK I can imagine that leaving 
it behind is not easy, but I have confidence that the staff, board and 
volunteers in the United Kingdom will manage to build on the foundation that 
you have put in place.

I think we are all happy to hear that you will still be a volunteer, and 
hopefully our paths will cross in the future.

Best wishes for your next challenge!

Jan-Bart de Vreede
