Bryan, It's been a pleasure working with you and getting to know you this past year and a half. I've learnt a lot and you've been a rock, you've been inspirational and motivational.. You've been a great mentor in many aspects and an amazing friend. I look forward to working with you further on the other two OSS projects we are involved with together and I hope you made the right decision when you chose to step down. Christelx
