I feel your pain ! others have mentioned this on the board too: that
our culture of gratitude & taking the time to say 'thanks' has been
eroded & this has a real impact on the relationships that bind us, the
fun-factor & so on.

I don't think we can easily mandate gratitude =) but would love to see
more leadership on this; so ... a more fulsome thanks again: not just
for the board work but the hard & thankless maintenance of the
extensions repo & all the other good things you've done and continue to
do for the project ! =) it is appreciated, even if I've been too busy to
say so.

All the best,

Michael.

Thanks for your long and dedicated service ! I really hope you can find
time to continue to maintain the extensions pieces & your other
technical contributions to the project.


let me second that. Thank you for all your hard work behind the scenes, 
on both administrative as well as technical parts, and on many community 
events. You've been involved in a lot of projects and been around since 
the beginning of TDF and I can't imagine this community without you.


Especially much of the administrative work was tedious and invisible to 
the general public - I really hope we will continue to see you in the 
community, both online and in person!


Florian

I can't promise that for the next seven or fifteen years. I'm really
sure that I wouldn't take a workload again, where I used my whole
(awake) spare time to work on the project and take no real vacation,
break etc. and get in return not too much positive feedback, but some
complaint.

I worked on the LibreOffice extensions and templates site and installed
a security patch today.

Cheers,
Andreas
