Hey, I've said that privately earlier this week, I'll reiterate publicly.
Thank you so much for all the work and energy you've put into the movement. I'm sad we won't get to work much together but really happy you've Landes a great job at YouTube! Of course any time you come to France I'd be happy to have you and enjoy wine in my garden :) Good luck for your new job, even though you won't need any! And I hope we'll get to see you roaming in the movement in the future.
