Very glad to learn that Gov. Newsom signed AB 1800, "Charlie's Law", yesterday: https://www.mercurynews.com/2022/05/13/opinion-charlies-law-would-save-lives-of-with-blood-cancers/
If you're under 40, you can join the Be the Match registry pretty quickly online: https://my.bethematch.org/s/join?language=en_US and they'll send you a swab kit in the mail.
Unfortunately, I didn't make it onto the Wikimedia Foundation board, you can see the full results. In the first round I was behind by ~280 votes, which is pretty close considering nearly 6,000 votes were cast!
I already said it, but I'm really thankful to everyone who supported me, whether you campaigned for me or just cast a vote. If there's anything I can do to help you out, you know how to find me :-)
What's next? First, it's time for me to get back to work, I only have a 4-month backlog of bugs and patches to get through. And then continuing to agitate for change to make the WMF and Wikimedia a better place.
P.S. I'm also planning to be much more involved with the awesome people in Wikimedia New York City in the coming year.

For two straight weeks 9 out of 10 of the top 10 viewed articles on Wikipedia were about the British Royal family. The 10th article was a newly released Bollywood film lmao.

I ported https://apt-browser.toolforge.org/ from Python/Flask to #Rust/Rocket
It's already faster and I didn't even finish all the performance improvements on it (e.g lazy_static for regexes).
