Hazen Babcock, one of our longstanding developers has decided to step
down from his role as project admin. He feels that he is currently
unable to offer plplot the time commitment that he has in the past.
Hazen has made many contributions to plplot including acting as
release manager, contributing to a number of drivers (including large
parts of the aqt, cairo and svg drivers), porting and testing plplot
on Mac OSX, as well as numerous other contributions.

I would just like to publically thank Hazen for all his contributions
over the years. Hazen will remain as a developer and I hope he will
manage to find some time to continue helping with plplot where he can.

Over the last year or two a couple of our long-standing developers
have scaled back their contributions to plplot and so it seems an
opportune time to remind all our users that plplot (like all open
source projects) is reliant on contributions from users and developers
for its continued success. You can contribute in a number of ways

- new features / drivers / examples
- bug fixing
- testing on different platforms / architectures
- documentation improvements (either in the source or on the wiki)
- packing plplot for different distributions for the ease of users
- contributing on the mailing lists to help users

You don't need to be an expert coder or a plplot developer to help. If
you have ideas, feel free to discuss them on the lists. We always
welcome suggestions, particularly if they come with patches!

Regards

Andrew
