Just a short story: Sometimes when we have Linux-related discussions I
mention names of people working for openSUSE to my colleagues at work who
are all mainly familiar with the Fedora project (because RHEL and Fedora
are used in our company). There aren't many names that they recognize but
Michael Loeffler is one of them. I think that's telling, isn't it? Thanks
for your contributions over all the years and good luck with your new job!
