Farewell as forum moderator

Juriaan

@Michel with the team of Isadora you created a caring community that is not afraid to share their practices with each other. I can't thank you enough for that, it was one and still is one of the selling points of Isadora for me. It shaped me as an artist to grow in a supportive environment and make Isadora my own. It is an honour to follow in your footsteps and to grow this community even stronger with the team.

Hopefully, you will visit us often (just because you want to see what we as a community are doing) during your off-time.

Let's speak soon at the Isadora workshop and drink a beer with each other

Dear Michel,
Since joining in 2012, I have always found you to be a friendly, helpful and, above all, patient moderator here in the forum, who has certainly played a large part in setting the tone in this forum, so pleasantly apart from others. Thanks a million.
The normal user Michel is welcome to all of us.
All the best
Reinhard

@Michel

You were one of the first names I got to know on the forum when I was first learning Isadora, and then one of the first faces years later when I came Berlin for the first time to meet the team.
I have always respected your level headed honesty and your well of technical knowledge, I hope that your endeavors don't take you to far from the Isadora community and we can again meet for a pint and teach each other some tricks.

Dear Michel,

thanks for all the work you done for Isadora

all the best for your new responsibility in the university. I know by experience how much energy it could cost.

just to echo others here: i'm a relative newbie, but i've quickly discovered that this forum is one of the many things that makes Isadora a community as well as an amazing media tool. So many thanks for the work you have done here. Best wishes for the new role.

the first Isadora meeting in Doncaster in 2009

Wow good times! Seems so long ago now - but I guess it was! Thanks for all the help and support with the forum and many other things.

@michel mein lieber Mischel, für deine Superorganisiertheit, deine Freundlichkeit, deine Fähigkeit Beruf und Privat auszubalancieren, deine tolles Deutsch und die kleinen informellen Gespräche sage ich DANKE mit deinem Landsmann, der als Einziger die kulturelle Aneignung der ostdeutschen Kultur beherrscht.

Hello Michel, I remember talking with you in Berlin in different times but always around Isadora. I wish you hapiness and success in your life and enterprises.

Chüss, Jacques

@michel. It is with sadness that we see you go michel. You'll be missed. Thank you for the wonderful time. Knowing that you among the team where there was a big relief knowing that between all of you we all can through out questions.

Thank you, and have fun in your new projects.

@michel

Holy you just reminded me that we stick to this program for quite a while- I guess only a few applications can hold up with Izzy in my portfolio and for sure you have been a reason for this! Thanks for all your help!

Thank you Michel, welcome back to the mortals!

@fubbi You know that Michel will never be a simple mortal, he will always be one of our most beloved gurus. We will miss you Michel.

Abrazos, hermano.

@josafat @fubbi @oscar @all

Thank you to all for the kind words. I am not as present on the forum anymore but I am still here and still stick to Isadora. After 21 years at the university, I am taking a sabatical to recharge my batteries for the last 16 years until retirement.

From summer 2022 me and my wife will travel for around 7 months with our camper from Canada to Panama, somewhere along the Panamericana route. This would be a good opportunity to meet some of you on our way. The camper will then head back to Europe and we will go to Japan and the Kingdom of Bhutan for around 2 months.

Best Michel

The camper is still work in progress and I hope I will finish it until summer

@michel If you end up in Winnipeg, let me know!
