Dear Pavel (& everyone) Its hard to describe the incredible positive impact that you have had on WMDE and the Wikimedia Movement as a whole. While every affiliates contributes differently it is fair to say that under your leadership WMDE has contributed a lot to our movement by facilitating communication between the different affiliates (including all the work on the Wikimedia Conferences and the chapters dialogue project). And of course Wikidata is an incredible project which I cannot praise enough :)
On a more individual note: I think the way you remained on board in order to facilitate a good transition within WMDE says a lot about your incredible character and dedication to our goals! Very happy to hear that its not a goodbye, and hope to see your impact in the next challenge you choose to take on! Thank you!
