Thank you very much for your work Luke. I'm positive Studio would be in a very different place had it not been for your great work. As you learned alot, you taught others. (ie: me) :) That in and of itself I think was a great thing. I as much as anyone knows the pressures of "real life" and shifting focus. I feel I've been fortunate in knowing you and hope we can one day work on something and hang out. Though I don't see this as goodbye, I'll say good luck. :) -Cory Kontros -- Ubuntu-Studio-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel
