Thank you for also giving such a professional and gracious exit that should be an example for all contributors, as Valorie said. Best of luck, Ivana! I'd also like to take the opportunity to thank Paul for his work in Promo and hopefully, we'll be able to find someone soon to help with the load. -- Regards, Juan Carlos Torres Jucato

Amen to that Jens! Ivana, you might think you didn't do enough, but you give the job your best, and stepped back when you needed to. This is a wonderful example to all of us.

Hi Ivana, Thanks for all the nice work you did for KDE. You and Paul are a vital part of making KDE promo a quite productive KDE group.

Finalizing my position as Marketing Contractor
Hello everyone, hope you're doing well! As most of you know, I have been employed by KDE e.V. as a Marketing Contractor alongside Paul Brown. Those of you involved in KDE Promo might have noticed my absence lately, and the truth is I haven't been actively contributing for a while now. The reason is that my responsibilities at my day job have increased significantly over the last year. I often work long hours and my weekly schedule is highly unpredictable. This makes it difficult to contribute to KDE in the capacity that is expected of me. This has also unfairly put pressure on Paul, who had to work extra to cover for me. Therefore, I have decided to step down. As I'm no longer able to support the community, I don't want to waste everyone's time and resources. It's time to make room for someone new and fresh. The KDE e.V. Board has already approved this decision, so I am just announcing it now to make it official. I'll use this opportunity to thank them for everything - for taking a chance on me in the first place; for always being supportive, understanding, and patient; and for being the best employers anyone could wish for. :) Although I'm sad that I didn't accomplish much in KDE Promo, I'm still happy that I played a part in reviving the team. The Promo work is never done - we have to keep spreading the good word about KDE and our software. I'm confident that those who come after me will do better than I did, and that they will make you all proud. Also, I'm not going anywhere, really :). I'll still stick around in Promo and try to contribute as much as I can. Before I close this email, I'd like to thank everyone in KDE who welcomed me and worked with me. I know it sounds corny, but this has really been a dream job for me. The whole experience helped me overcome many of my fears, allowed me to meet wonderful people from all over the world, and taught me valuable lessons about marketing in open source communities. I'll keep learning, and I'll never stop striving to become better. Thanks for reading! I wish you all the best, and if you ever wanna chat, you know where to find me. Cheers, Ivana Isadora Devcic
