Brion, congrats on your new opportunity and project and I'm bit on a relief to hear you would like to stay on our community, and I still remember the days you was a volunteer developer with great devotion (in those days e started to celebrate Brion Vibber Day) but still you won't be surprised I th

Brion's announcement is a big one and I'm sure many of us would like to get his thoughts, ideas and memories on many things. To that end, in a couple of days I'll be interviewing Brion for the next edition of the WikipediaWeekly podcast. The interview will be publishe

Re: [Foundation-l] Announce: Brion moving to StatusNet

Brion, congratulations on your new job, and you sound excited and happy with it, so that is good :-) But I must admit that I am sorry to see you go - your commitment to wikimedia has always been over 100%, if such a thing is possible, and your personality has always been a pleasure to work with.

Re: [Foundation-l] Announce: Brion moving to StatusNet

Brion, thank you for your tremendous work, enthusiasm, and grace, and congratulations on your new job. StatusNet will be lucky to have you, and I hope this means among other things that we will see better integration of real-time communication into platforms such as wikis. On Mon, Sep 28, 2009 a
