Bryan, |
| 34 |
It's been a pleasure working with you and getting to know you this past |
| 35 |
year and a half. I've learnt a lot and you've been a rock, you've been |
| 36 |
inspirational and motivational.. You've been a great mentor in many |
| 37 |
aspects and an amazing friend. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
I look forward to working with you further on the other two OSS projects |
| 40 |
we are involved with together and I hope you made the right decision |
| 41 |
when you chose to step down. |
