Hi again!

Most of you should recognize Pat Villani. He is the original author of
the FreeDOS kernel, and has been with the FreeDOS Project (off and on)
from the beginning.

Pat contacted me about taking on the role of FreeDOS project
coordinator. Since we no longer have a single person who fills this
particular role, I agreed that Pat would be an excellent person to
step in now that I am absent from FreeDOS.

Welcome back, Pat Villani!

Also, just because I am unsubscribing from the lists doesn't mean I'm
completely inaccessible. I'm always available via regular email if
anyone has questions for me, especially about any of the stuff I
worked on. :-)

[Freedos-user] Next step in transition

2009-05-10 Thread Jim Hall
Hi everyone,

Back in February, I had announced that I was taking an absence from
the FreeDOS Project to focus on an MOT program, effective in May. I've
been transferring my roles in FreeDOS (webmaster, SourceForge admin,
ibiblio admin, etc.)

May is finally here. I'm going to unsubscribe from the mailing lists,
and officially take my leave from FreeDOS. It's been a long
transition, but I think it's been a smooth one. With the support
structure we have in place now, I think FreeDOS will do just fine
without me running things. For example, Rugxulo has been regularly
posting news updates to the web site, and others have been updating
ibiblio.

Any emails that are sent directly to me will be forwarded to one of
the other admins. I'll probably still post items to my FreeDOS blog
www.freedos.org/jhall but I'm now out of the day-to-day running of
the FreeDOS Project.

I've worked on FreeDOS since that day in 1994 when I posted a note to
the comp.os.msdos.apps newsgroup to announce a new, free version of
DOS. Since that time, we've seen FreeDOS grow up, marking our
official 1.0 release in 2006. Today, FreeDOS is used all around the
world, in a variety of industries. Embedded systems have found FreeDOS
to be useful, and classic gamers are able to run their old DOS games
on PC hardware. I look forward to what FreeDOS 1.1 (and an eventual
FreeDOS 2.0) will bring.

It's been great. Thanks to everyone! :-)


If any of you are on Facebook, feel free to add me as a friend. I'm
already in contact with a few of you there. :-)
