Just wanted to say many thanks for all your efforts ant contributions over the 
years, and especially for your thorough and detailed patch reviews! I know I 
picked up many hints and insights reading through them along the way.

Best of success for your future projects and please do keep in contact from 
time to time!

Best Regards,

Sascha,

Thank you for all you have contributed and thank you for working
towards a smooth transition.

I will leave you with the immortal words of Michael Corleone:  "Just
when I thought I was out... they pull me back in."

[Sugar-devel] Stepping down as Sugar maintainer

2013-01-06 Thread Sascha Silbe
Hello everyone,

I am stepping down as maintainer for Sugar and some related
services. This is mostly due to lack of time, but even if I had more of
that to spare for Sugar, the way I work is sufficiently different from
that of the most active contributors that I'd do more harm than good.

For some time now, my business didn't have any Sugar-related contract,
so as an entrepreneur I can't afford investing time, effort or money
into Sugar. My spare time is pretty limited these days and I tend to
spend what's left of it on reflecting, relaxing and some minor non-Sugar
projects, so even as a volunteer I can't spend much on Sugar.

However, I will continue using an XO as my primary laptop, so I may
contribute to some of the lower-level parts of the stack (powerd,
kernel, etc.) from time to time. I'll also continue working on some data
store stuff (gdatastore, datastore-fuse, etc.), but strictly outside of
Sugar as I wouldn't be able to hold your pace.

It's been exciting times working with you and I've learned a lot. But
now it's time to move on and let younger folks take over. That seems to
have worked fine the past few months; hopefully it'll work out in the
long run as well. This side of the ocean, my current customers have come
to appreciate the way I work. And taking Sundays off for relaxing and
reflecting, I'm much more at ease. So everyone is better off now.

So long and thanks for all the fish,
Sascha
