Hello dear metalworkers, As some of you might know, I've been working on the hardware awareness in the KDE community since my very first contribution in 2003. It all started because as a user I wanted a couple of icons in Kicker and from there I just kept digging lower in the stack.
In parallel I've been working on other projects of the community, and some of them deserve more attention from me, so it's time to reduce my involvement in some areas, Solid being one of them. Don't be mistaken, I'm not running away screaming and leaving everyone in wonder, but I needed to make choices and IMO it's the right time for me to step down. Indeed, during the past year a lot have been achieved, and the community has been growing. That's why lately, I've been looking into someone to replace me and I'm glad I found someone so I could step down responsibly. So I'm happy to announce that I'm passing the torch to our own Alex Fiestas. You probably all know him, he's a great metalworker, and even seems more active and lively than me at times. I'm confident he'll be able to efficiently lead the community toward new adventures and getting our frameworks and applications to cooperate with even more different type of devices. Also note that I'm not simply dumping the lot onto Alex, we've a transition plan, so I'll still review patches and such. I'll just be slowly fading away through the course of 2011. Longer term I'll still be around, and I'll likely keep ranting on libsolid API changes from time to time (libsolid API being rather stable it's not a huge amount of work for me anyway). If you have any questions regarding this announcement, feel free to ask! Regards. -- Kévin Ottens, http://ervin.ipsquad.net KDAB - proud patron of KDE, http://www.kdab.com
