So I have to stop all my LibreOffice activities and hope that you keep up the great work you already do. +1 - I hope we can fulfill that (and that as you use LibO in the future, you can see it for yourself) It has been very much fun to be a part of this community. I learned quite a lot during the 6 or 7 years of in the OpenOffice.org and LibreOffice community (I improved not only my English), but the most important part of the work here is to meet not only co-workers, but friends. I'm leaving very reluctantly, but as the day has less than 30 hours to work, I know that my decision is the right one. Each of us has to be the judge of what the most effective and important use of our limited and precious time is, and there's no arguing with yours! Thank you that I could be part of such a great community - and a design team that starts to become more and more important inside this community. It was a pleasure, but I'd be remiss if I didn't thank you for encouraging me when I first joined OpenOffice.org all those years ago. I'm sure there are plenty of others who would not be here without your kind welcomes, feedback and discussions. I don't think there's much more that I can add that hasn't been said already, so I'll keep it short: enjoy your children, family and friends. Your contributions have been dearly appreciated, and the art/branding/design of OpenOffice and LibreOffice projects have benefitted immensely from your presence. They were and continue to be vastly better projects because of your involvement. I hope that over time we can fill the gap that you leave, but it won't be easy and it certainly won't be quick. Best wishes for the future, and thanks again for all the fun, Ivan. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to design+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/design/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Hi Bernhard, all Design Guys! Answering the mail by Bernhard is (most probably) the only action I'll do today ... after having visited my family for a few days.

Even if I like being here very much, real life is more important - and if you understand that you have to spend your time wisely, your decision is clear... Of course, I'm very, very, sorry to hear that ... but I also know that you've mentioned earlier the need of balancing professional, LibreOffice and private life. In my introduction, I deliberately stated my family visit - I really know how hard it is to set priorities right (I have been wrong several times). Thus, I really hope that your decision makes life for you more enjoyable and more manageable. [...] So I have to stop all my LibreOffice activities and hope that you keep up the great work you already do. It has been very much fun to be a part of this community.

Thank you that I could be part of such a great community - and a design team that starts to become more and more important inside this community. Quite the contrary: thank you for spending time with us - I remember many highly interesting discussions over the last years. Not only the LibO/OOo related ones, but also the private talks :-) Moreover, I'd like to highlight that you intensively helped to shape the LibreOffice project ... not only within the Design Team; you have one of those being almost everywhere to help with balanced thoughts and constructive feedback - always keeping the community and its point-of-view the priority. That's something I'll surely miss. So, personally, I hope that working within OpenOffice.org, and realizing the idea of TDF and LibreOffice has been an exciting experience ... even worth talking about in 20 years. You know, the stories to be told to the grandchildren :-) [...] Finally, I hope that there will be a chance for e.g. trainings or conferences nearby ... I'm looking forward to enjoy another glass of wine with you :-) Bernhard, I really wish you all the best - you, your family, and your friends. Thank you!

Hi Bernard,Of course it's sad to see some of the community go, but it's very understandable that one has to set his priorities.I guess we all appreciate the time you dedicated to the project and the community and you'll always be welcome.I wish you all the best and a less stressful future.

Best regards Bernhard We are grateful for having been able to borrow as much of your time as we did. And /in/ that time you achieved s much and inspired the rest of us to try and keep up. You have a lot to be proud of. For the outside world, your contributions changed the way millions see LibreOffice (and OpenOffice.org before that). Within this list, you've single-handedly redefined the concept of dedication for many of us. You've been a leader who led by inspiring and by doing the hard work when no one else could, or would. The best kind of leader. Your's is a retirement well earned! The rest of us can only hope we accomplish as much as you did, as well as you did it. Some of us you can consider friends, the rest of us you can consider fans. We'll miss you man. -Nik -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to design+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/design/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Hi Bernhard, it's of course with sadness that I read your words, but at the same time I can only assure you that you made the right decision - never compromise on the ones closest to you, and even more so for kids. Thanks for all the great work you did - and be proud that some very visible parts of LibreOffice were made by you.
