Dear all,

in an effort to minimize my workload, I am trying to shed some of the less
meaningful responsibilities of mine ;-) (this is actually meant seriously)
As of now, I decline from serving on Mozart's board.

Anyhow, Oz and Mozart have been a thrilling ride while they lasted! I ever
more so grew disappointed with the lack of actual backing by people who got
quite some leverage on Oz's and Mozart's popularity. Unfortunately, opening
up to the community has been equally unsuccesful (so far, that is).

Before I do disappear from these lists, I'd like to rectify a misconception
about Oz and Mozart and research in programming systems in general: I do
consider Oz and Mozart a tremendous success, not because there are lots of
people who use the language and system. I rather consider it a success as
the research behind both has managed to establish important ideas in the
scientific community, very likely to outlive the actual language and system!

Still, after more than a decade of work on Oz and Mozart I am still amazed
what all of us (most definitely including the users) did achieve! And yes, I
am very proud to have been part of this.

And very much yes, on to the next system!

All the best
Christian
