Dear all,
After five years, I have decided to resign from my position as the
Yocto Project Community Manager. I joined the OpenEmbedded community
around 2008. I have fond memories of my early days, and still remember
some of my first interactions on IRC and mailing lists! This is a very
welcoming community, always helping new people with patience and
kindness. Serving the project during the last five years is something
I am very proud of, and I will be forever grateful to all of you for
accepting me!
During these years, we have gone through a lot together, the pandemic
gave us an opportunity to rethink how our community should come
together. Setting up our Virtual Summits has been a lot of work (and
stress!) for a group of few people, but the never ending success of
these events has been very rewarding! Our online presence in social
media has dramatically improved, and allows us to reach out to and
interact with our community faster than ever before!
On the side of all the technical changes, and releases, we have also
established the Yocto LTS process which was a recurring request from
the community and has become a strength of the project! We also
revamped the project documentation to make it easier to maintain and
contribute. The Yocto Project documentation is such a great resource
for our community! I have spent so many hours on these PDFs in my
early days!
Anyway, let’s not focus on the past! The future looks bright and I am
really excited to announce that Josef Holzmayr has accepted to take
over the Community Manager role. Josef needs no introduction, he has
been a key member of this community for so many years. Thanks to
Josef's relentless efforts, we have grown our social media presence on
Youtube, Twitter, LinkedIn and Mastodon! His energy will be a great
source of inspiration for this community! I wish Josef and Yocto the
best for the years to come, and I am convinced this community is in
good hands and that Josef will be a great community leader!
Many thanks for everything you did for the project, and are still doing
for the wider embedded Linux community. You will be missed here but I
hope you will still be around.
Now the bar is high and Josef is expected to stay as an official
Community Manager for at least 5 years ;-)
Thanks again to you Nico and thanks to Josef for taking over!
Michael.
