After thinking about it for a couple of weeks, I've decided to resign |
| 2 |
from the council. I think the management and unification provided by the |
| 3 |
council is critical, but I just don't have the time to commit on a |
| 4 |
regular basis that's necessary to do a good job. I'm trying to finish my |
| 5 |
Ph.D. and applying for postdoctoral fellowships, and along with my new |
| 6 |
daughter, that means I can't promise any regular commitment of time. |

Instead, I expect to spend what Gentoo time I have thinking and talking |
| 9 |
about our future direction and working to innovate rather than managing |
| 10 |
that innovation. I have the utmost confidence that others can fill my |
| 11 |
place on the council. Therefore, it's more important for me to focus on |
| 12 |
innovation, which I feel is driven by individual developers, including |
| 13 |
me. I'm very excited to restart working on projects that I've mostly |
| 14 |
dropped because of my council commitment, such as helping with the git |
| 15 |
conversion, spending more time on PR, and finishing the test-suite |
| 16 |
framework for eclasses, among other things. |

I'm still available for advice about anything council-related, so feel |
| 19 |
free to ask at any point. |
