I remember it well, in particular the early start time, with a chance
for both breakfast and lunch!

Amusingly I plan to contribute _more_ now. I'll be working a job that
lets me out at 5pm!

My first project is turning our article on Aaron Burr into a Good
Article. My second project is finding someone who wants the 12 Aaron
Burr biographies I now own.

​Oliver,

It's been a while
 since
we first met in person. I even followed you across the world to work in San
Francisco! Don't think you can get away from our friendship that easily! ;-)

Take care, and go in peace and with my respect. My very best wishes.

[Wikimedia-l] One Last Ride

2016-02-23 Thread Oliver Keyes 
Dear all,

I am leaving the Wikimedia Foundation to take up a job as a Senior
Data Scientist at an information security company. My last day will be
on 18 March.

After 12 months of continual stress, losses and workplace fear, I no
longer wish to work for the Wikimedia Foundation.

While I appreciate that the Board of Trustees may take steps to
rectify the situation, I have no confidence in their ability to
effectively do so given their failure to solve for the problem until
it became a publicity issue as well as a staff complaint.

I wish the movement and community the best of luck in building a
fairer, more transparent and more representative governing structure.

All the best,
Oliver Keyes
Of these last 5 years, Wikimedia Foundation
