Hello, As mentioned in my blog post from earlier today (https://stgraber.org/2023/07/10/time-to-move-on/), Friday 7th of July was my last day at Canonical.
While my involvement in Ubuntu far predates me joining Canonical, my day to day involvement with the project has changed quite a bit over the years. I joined the release team, cdimage team, archive team and SRU teams as part of my work in the foundations team quite a few years ago and continued to help out here and there afterwards. The reality is that over the past few years, I would only spend a few hours per cycle reviewing some packages in the queue or letting an SRU through when someone would directly nag me. I held on to those privileges until now because I have a tendency to keep a very close high on IRC even over the weekends, which meant that I would often be around whenever some kind of emergency would arise. This combined with the added access provided to those who also happen to be Canonical employees meant that while not an active member, I would have been able to quickly revert or fix an issue in an emergency. Now that I have left Canonical, this doesn't really apply anymore and I don't see myself committing more time towards those teams than I have been able to in recent years. As a result, I'm stepping down from those teams and have already updated Launchpad accordingly. I'm still going to be on IRC and will remain an Ubuntu Core Developer, so should I be of any assistance, please let me know!
