Ten years ago today, our once and future king John Fleck appointed me the new leader of the GNOME documentation team:
https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-doc-list/2003-September/msg00043.html It's been an adventurous ten years. For a long while, we had almost no team, and our documentation was terribly out of date. But we picked ourselves up, and we reinvented our team and what we do. Thanks to Phil, Jim, Paul, and Milo for being there. I don't think we'd be where we are today if it weren't for your hard work. That was five years ago. Today we have a very active team that gets an amazing amount of work done. We have a friendly and welcoming community. Our developers are move active in documentation than ever before. And we are in many ways on the cutting edge of what's happening in the tech comm industry. I'm proud of where our team is today. I'm proud of all of you for getting us there. Ten years is long enough. It's time I stepped back and let somebody else take charge. I'm not leaving. I'll continue to be an active member of the community, and I'll continue to develop the tools. We need somebody with the time and energy to coach new contributors, to keep track of what everybody is doing, and to be active with the broader GNOME community. I believe that person is Ekaterina Gerasimova. She's already doing all these things and more. She understands our team and how to get stuff done. And she's just an awesome person to be around. Thanks Kat for all your hard work, and for agreeing to take on this role. Ten years ago, John said this: Serving as GDP Fearless Leader has been a hoot. Thanks for the privilege. I couldn't have put it better myself.
