As you may have seen if you follow the Ada Initiative's blog, I've left the TAI's advisory board (which I joined in 2011). I've also left its board of directors, which I joined a little under a year ago. (A reason that I was a useful addition to the board of directors was that Sue Gardner, who left the board due to time constraints, was taking with her a tremendous amount of Wikimedia expertise. Now that she has returned to the board, my Wikimedian expertise is not as critical.) This also means that I'm no longer working on the search for the new executive director, and am a well-wisher from afar for the committee -- and indeed the org.

Some past posts I've made about TAI:

• a challenge pledge, for TAI, in 2012
• a story about my parents, community organizing, and sustainability
• "How I made a tidepool: Implementing the Friendly Space Policy for Wikimedia Foundation technical events"
• "Kronda Adair and Self-Determination"
• "The Ada Initiative, Fanvids I Love, and How I Restarted Ken Liu's Career"
• "Four Reasons To Apply (Soon) To Run The Ada Initiative"
• [Edited April 24 to add] "The next Tor, role models, and criticism: the future I want"

Incidentally, this means I now have zero formal affiliations with any organization, and I am trying to get used to the idea that if I say something super controversial about, say, open source culture, Google Summer of Code, or Yuletide Treasure, the only fallout will be on me. I haven't really had this particular unattachedness since early 2011, and it's rather a change.
