Your good humor and technical brilliance have been sorely missed. Looking at my publicly visible involvement over the last two years or so, there is little that would justify me being on the core team today. I was not involved in the release process, in patch reviewing, organizing and have contributed little. However, in contrast to other previous core team members, I do not plan to disappear.

We can and should talk about that stuff next week at PGCon in Ottawa. I will also stay in close contact with the remaining core team members, many of whom have become very good friends over the past 15 years. The entire core team, me included, hoped that it wouldn't come to this and that I could have returned to active duty earlier. Things in my little sub universe didn't change as fast as we all hoped and we all think it is best now that I focus on getting back to speed and do some serious hacking. We hope for many more good things from you yet! I hope to see many of you in Ottawa. You'll certainly see me! Best wishes and many thanks for your good work over so many years. andrew -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers

I was not involved in the release process, in patch reviewing, organizing and have contributed little. My feeling, which I'm sure would be supported by a great many people, is that you have made huge contributions to PostgreSQL, all very much appreciated. Yes, that may not have been visible to all because much of that was via the Slony project, though I know of your quieter contributions to other major projects. Slony alone has been the backbone of PostgreSQL across many releases and will continue to be important in the future also. -- Simon Riggs www.2ndQuadrant.com -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers

You can run, but you can't hide ;) Thanks for your deep and broad contributions so far, and I'm sure I speak for many when I say we're looking forward to upcoming ones.
