Thanks Roger for more than a year of service. It's disappointing to see him
finally go - his encouraging words in Bristol and Haifa last year (along
the lines of "you need balls to be cool and do outreach") was what kept me
going in my Wikimedia outreach despite all kinds of disappointment.

I gave Slate an interview in the hopes of being the first non-crazy person
to talk about what Roger is *actually doing* - which, yes, I still have
problems with - but which isn't being Scrooge McDuck using WMUK to grab all
the money in the land whilst writing all the articles about Gibraltar

Thank you, Roger. I regret that you have chosen your work with the
government of Gibraltar over your work with Wikimedia UK, but we all have

given for free by museums to encourage people to ed

Very well said.
This is an important issue, and it's quite right for the members to discuss it,
but they could do so in a way that smacks slightly less of a vendetta. And if
