Re: [Wikimedia-l] Farewell <3

2016-02-09 Thread Philippe Beaudette
Anna, I'll never forget you walking up to me at a journalism conference and
asking for a job.

Then I'll never forget harassing you into taking it, when you had a better
offer somewhere else.

I'm glad you did; your expertise added much to the WMF, and I know you will
be greatly missed.  However, I know that teaching was near and dear to your
heart... as you know, I told you once to follow your bliss, even if it
meant leaving the CA team, and I say the same to you now.  The Wikimedia
movement will be greater for having you around generally.

Best,
pb

Thanks Anna,

It was great meeting you during Wikimania. All the best for your next
venture. And glad that you'll remain a Wikimedian afterwards. Once a
Wikimedian, always a Wikimedian! :)

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Farewell <3

2016-02-09 Thread Josh Lim
Dear Anna,

I can’t thank you enough for all the work you’ve done to help us get to where 
we are today.  We wouldn’t have an Education Program, nor would we have been 
able to effectively leverage our partnership with Smart Communications here in 
the Philippines, if it weren’t for your efforts.  For that, Wikimedia 
Philippines is forever grateful.

But at the same time, as a Wikipedian, I am eternally grateful for all the 
advice, the stories, and lessons and, most especially, the laughs.  It was 
definitely awesome seeing you at Wikimania.  I was certainly hoping to see you 
this year if I get the chance to.  But either way, know that we will always be 
here for you, as we hope you will be for us.

If we had to look for examples of awesome Wikimedians, you definitely count as 
one.  From the bottom of my heart, thank you for everything, and we will 
definitely miss you.  Hopefully, somewhere, someday, our paths will cross once 
again.

Many hugs from Manila,

Josh

Dear Anna! You have a great talent to inspire people. I can never tell you
how much Wikipedia magic I discovered thanks to you. You are a great
Wikipedian, a wonderful teacheer and a beautiful person. Hope that we will
still have a chance to meet on Wikimedia events.
I wish you many great adventures and I thank you for being such an
inspiration to us all.
