Re: [gentoo-council] I'm resigning

[Tiziano Müller]

Hi Donnie

Thanks a lot for the work you've done for the Council and Gentoo as a
whole. I can fully understand your motivations, although it's a pity to
see you leave so shortly before the end of terms.

Good luck with the other Gentoo projects and your private life.

Cheers,
Tiziano
