    Hi Martin,
    *Thank you.*

    I'm retiring at the end of November 2021, it's time to spend more
    time
    with the family.

    We started the Quality Outreach back in October 2014.  We now have
    170+
    projects participating.
    Thank you for taking the time to provide Testing feedback , excellent
    bugs and support throughout
    the last seven years.

    It's been a pleasure working with you. I am delighted to say that the
    program will continue
    with the support of the Java DevRel Team, with David Delabassee as
    your
    contact. David has
    been assisting with on-boarding new projects for the last couple
    of years.

    All the best, Rory
