Hi Siegfried,
Good to take time for yourself. Remember, you can always come back :-) I
took a few years away, and have popped in and out as well over the years
as time permits. I try to help when I can, but granted that's not much
these days as the day job keeps me plenty busy. We have all benefited
from your work over the years! Thanks for your contributions and best
wishes to you and your family.

Hi folks,
after long & careful consideration I decided to become an emeritus member. The
good news is, that it has nothing to with the ASF itself (and all of the lengthy
email threads). Having said that, I have nothing ASF-related to do at work, less
and less spare time due to my aging parents and would like to spend that
ever-decreasing spare time on my bicycle (before exchanging it with that
four-wheeled rollator).
Looking back at 20 years of being a (more or less active) member of Apache Turbine,
XML-RPC, Commons, JSPWiki & Freemarker community I will definitely remember the very
first ApacheCon, the various hackathons, my own humble presentations and the time with
lovely, helpful, bright & enthusiastic colleagues & friends.
Cheers,
Siegfried Goeschl
PS: This is the non-official email before sending the official “Member Emeritus
Request” to the Apache Secretary :-)
