Considering stepping down from all of my FreeBSD responsibilities
Dear community, Given the mental toll the past two years or so have taken on me, I have decided to step down from all of my "hats" within the Project, and take some time to sort out what my future looks like going forward. Happy April 1st. I'm not going anywhere. :-) Glen signature.asc Description: PGP signature
