Hello All,

Francesc, I'd like to reiterate everyone's thanks and best wishes.  Your

I can only speak for myself, but I know that this came as sort of surprise.
So I need to clear some other things off of my plate before I do independent
intensive work ;).

I think this makes a lot of sense.  We can ensure that the governing team
has semi-regular meetings (every 3 months?) and maybe gets sprints together
occasionally as well.  Spreading the workload that you have been doing on
your
own between several people would make everyone's lives easier.

Probably you should round up everyone who has expressed interest and have
them
'meet' one another.  Batuhan, how do you feel about this?

Yup this would probably be a decision for the new governance.

That would be excellent!  I think that we'd end up deferring to your wisdom
in a lot of cases.

I have been trying to respond to the list in the past, but often times you
have
been faster than me!

Be Well
Anthony
