Daniel, |

You've always been the backbone of the Gentoo coördination and one of the |
| 11 |
leads that gave Gentoo just that extra touch of rapid development that we |
| 12 |
all know of Gentoo. I can understand some of the frustration you've gone |
| 13 |
through (albeit far from all), but you've helped Gentoo develop into what it |
| 14 |
is now; I and lots of developers with me would be very disappointed to stop |
| 15 |
seeing your contributions. |

In the light of recent happenings, please do consider keeping an eye on the |
| 18 |
overall progress and providing input (even without active development). You |
| 19 |
can call it "taking a break" or "decreasing activity", something most active |
| 20 |
developers do from time to time. |

Gentoo's been your child; you gave it birth and watched it grow. It learned |
| 23 |
from your experience and guidance. You recently gave Gentoo the first step |
| 24 |
in becoming a self-regulated entity by starting the NFP. This and all your |
| 25 |
contributions have been very well appreciated, by both users and developers. |
| 26 |
I can only hope that you keep an eye on your child. |
