Hi, After nearly 5 years as the maintainer of Freevo-1.x Duncan Webb is now stepping aside. Duncan stepped in and took the rains at a time when Freevo-1.x was struggling to maintain momentum and looked like it might disappear into the abyss as the original developers moved on, some with other external responsibilities, others to begin work on a complete rewrite of Freevo from the ground up (what is now the exciting Freevo 2 branch).
Duncan's contribution over those 5 years has brought many advancements to Freevo and ensured a great project continued, much to the delight of its loyal user-base. Through his own patches, plugins, advice and patient user support on the mailing lists and his management of the bug trackers he has ensured the long-term survival of Freevo and taken the pressure off the Freevo 2 developers to work in their own time without the distraction of supporting the existing code base. Without Duncan's contribution the Freevo project would certainly not be where it is today and for that we all own him a debt of gratitude. Thank you Duncan. On an upbeat note I am glad to announce that the Freevo-1.x branch is in safe hands. Adam Charrett has taken over the reins from Duncan and will continue his hard work. Some of you may know Adam from his other media related project DVBStreamer. Adam brings a great skill set to the project and we're lucky to have someone like him step in. Adam will be accepting patches for Freevo-1.x through the bug tracker and like Duncan helping out on the mailing lists. Of course change begets change and this is not the whole story. There have been lots of other developments behind the scenes for Freevo recently. Stay tuned for some news on the long anticipated Freevo 2 (or check out the devel list and home page for announcements). It promises to be worth the wait. :) John ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net Dev2Dev email is sponsored by: Show off your parallel programming skills.
