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
Hi Sascha,
Thanks for letting us know about your future availability. That is an
important part to make sure that other people can fill in the gaps.
Thanks for your contributions in the last years and good luck with your
future projects.
