[opensuse-project] FYI I'm retiring from the board...
FYI, I published yesterday at: http://lizards.opensuse.org/2008/10/08/retiring-from-the-opensuse-board/ I have served as chairperson of the openSUSE board the last year and would like to announce that I decided to pass the honours on for the next election period. I’ve made this decision out of personal plans for the next year that will not allow me to devote as much time to the board as it deserves since I’ll be some time on paternity leave. In my professional role I will stay involved with the openSUSE project and I will support the new chairperson fully to make a smooth transition. The new chairperson will be announced at the same time as the new board members, at the end of this election. I enjoyed being openSUSE chairperson - working together with excellent board members (thanks Coolo, Federico, Francis, and Pascal), internal and external community members to move openSUSE forward in areas like openSUSE “members” (I would really love to see a better name), forums, the distribution, marketing (getting Zonker onboard was part of it) and also getting these elections setup. Btw. I have given some comments (like here) on the board previously.

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 :)
cheers
