| 77 | +## Farewell and thank you to María José Afanador-Llach |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | +This quarter, we honour and celebrate **María José Afanador-Llach**, who steps down from her role on our Spanish team having worked with us since 2016. One of our longest-serving volunteers, María José’s dedication and extensive contributions have helped shape what _Programming Historian_ is today. **Adam Crymble**, **Silvia E. Gutiérrez De la Torre**, and **Jennifer Isasi** share their tributes: |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | +>María José has been a digital humanities pioneer in Latin America. I had the great honour of co-hosting a _Programming Historian_ writing workshop with her in Bogota in 2018 and I'm so grateful for not only her wonderful hospitality during that visit, but also the incredible work she put into building our first foray into another language community. She was our first Spanish language managing editor, and helped curate the community that would sustain that publication to the present day. I know I've personally learned so much about digital scholarship, differences, and commonalities around the world thanks to her efforts, and the project will forever be in her debt. Thank you for everything María José and I hope we all cross paths again soon. |

|
| 85 | +>Querida María José: |
| 86 | +> |
| 87 | +>Al despedirnos de ti en _Programming Historian_, no puedo dejar de pensar en el legado profundo que dejas, especialmente porque tu convicción de que la chispa de un encuentro presencial puede encender la llama una comunidad virtual, es un fueguito del que sigo recibiendo calor. Para mí, el taller de PH Bogotá en 2018 fue la encarnación perfecta de esta visión tuya: ¡22 humanistas digitales de toda América (la única, la que va del Polo Norte al Sur) se reunieron durante cuatro días al pie de los Andes, gracias a tu liderazgo y a tu incansable esfuerzo! |
| 88 | +Con la energía de los jugos de lulo y todo el café colombiano que se pudo tomar, se forjaron amistades y colaboraciones que perduran, y en una semilla que sigue dando frutos: esa rama de _Programming Historian en español_ que sigue desafiando la noción de que las soluciones deben venir de otras latitudes. |
| 89 | +> |
| 90 | +>¡Gracias por tanto, María José! Con un abrazo enorme y el agradecimiento de toda la comunidad, |
| 91 | +> |
| 92 | +>Silvia E. Gutiérrez De la Torre |
| 93 | +
|
| 94 | +>Querida compañera: |
| 95 | +> |
| 96 | +>No puedo pensar en esta revista y proyecto sin pensar en ti. Fuiste parte fundamental para su nacimiento y desarrollo, y cada lección que publicamos lleva alguna idea tuya. |
| 97 | +> |
| 98 | +>Recuerdo que el día en que me entrevistaste yo estaba nerviosa, pero algo cambió cuando empezamos a hablar. Colgué la videollamada pensando: "Ojalá me llamen porque podría aprender mucho y estaría rodeada de compañeros estupendos". No me equivoqué. |
| 99 | +> |
| 100 | +>Nos has dado más de lo que probablemente te das cuenta. Tu empuje para arrancar esto, tu paciencia para dirigirnos cuando aún había un camino por hacer, para aprender juntos...todo eso queda con nosotros. |
| 101 | +> |
| 102 | +>Y bueno, esto no es una despedida. Seguiremos trabajando juntas de alguna forma. |
| 103 | +Así que mejor dicho: hasta pronto. |
| 104 | +> |
| 105 | +>Jennifer Isasi |
