Hi all, I joined the WMF Research team in June, 2021 as the Senior Research Community Officer. Over the last two years, I have had the pleasure of interacting with many of you through Office Hours, Research Showcases, the Research Fund, and the listening tour I held during my first few months. I have enjoyed learning more about your research interests, involvement in the broader Wikimedia community, and how you think the Foundation can increase its support for your work. With your input, we were able to publish a vision and strategy <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Research_Community_Vision_and_Strategy> for the community that will guide our efforts in the coming years.
I am writing to let you know that April 21st will be my last day at the Wikimedia Foundation. I am moving to another organization where I will continue to build my experience in community management and supporting open research practices. I want to thank you for the energy and enthusiasm that you bring to your work. I particularly want to acknowledge those of you who have presented your research at Showcases and Wiki Workshop, reviewed abstracts and grant proposals, and applied to the Research Fund. The success of these initiatives is due in a large part to your thoughtful contributions. Warm regards, Emily -- Emily Lescak (she / her) Senior Research Community Officer The Wikimedia Foundation _______________________________________________ Wiki-research-l mailing list -- wiki-research-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe send an email to wiki-research-l-le...@lists.wikimedia.org
