Jessie, We'll miss you indeed. Thank you for all your support in Brazil activities (which is super appreciated) and I'm sure you'll do a great work wherever you go. You've supported great achievements in the Wikimedia movement and I'm so happy for you that you're having this opportunity to dedicate your energy and talent to other new and such important challenges.
