[ddj] "That'll do, pig. That'll do."

I do not know how to say in English, but I thank you very much for
your contribution to building DDJ community.
We will miss your flag-woman leadership.

> When I started at Open Knowledge, you could count staff members on one hand.

> I leave the projects I have been working on in incredibly capable hands and
> I look forward to seeing them flourish. Keep up the awesome work in
> translating DDJBook - maybe on my death bed, we’ll have it in Esperanto!

> I am going to miss working with you all every day immensely, but I will of

>
> Should you ever need me, “ping” me (another phrase I promised myself I would

> my inbox is always open!
>
> This job will be a very hard act to follow in terms of dynamism, amazing
> people and totally weird online Christmas parties and I will take forward
> the fondest memories of everything I have learned here.

> Until we speak next time, may our paths cross many more times,
