I'm sure all of the people who depend upon OpenSuSE would like to join me in thanking Andreas for his excellent steering of the complex ship (flotilla?) which is an open source product

Thanks David Hodgson

I'd also like to thank you for your deep involvement and commitment. Luckily, you've taken most of the really annoying stuff away from us (other board members) and you had both the energy and the position to get certain things done that were discussed and decided by the board.

I do believe you were the perfect match for the chairperson position so it's sad you're retiring but... oh well.. I understand ;)

Thanks again :)
