It's with a bit of sadness but also a bit of relief that I'm finally |
| 2 |
retiring from |
| 3 |
Gentoo. |

I've been a Gentoo developer for nearly 4 years now and I like to at least |
| 6 |
pretend that I've made some important contributions to Gentoo during that |
| 7 |
time. I've had a lot of fun but my frustrations have grown these past several |
| 8 |
months and I've been entertaining the idea about retiring from Gentoo for |
| 9 |
probably 6 months now. The past couple months the desire to leave Gentoo have |
| 10 |
become much stronger and I think it's finally time for me and Gentoo to go our |
| 11 |
separate ways. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
I think I've put my "fingerprint" on Gentoo in quite a few important ways but |
| 14 |
lately I've come to the realization that I probably can't do any more for |
| 15 |
Gentoo. No matter how hard I try fighting for what I feel is right we seem to |
| 16 |
end up with petty fights, flamewars or what I consider even worse - people |
| 17 |
simply ignore what I'm working hard towards. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
So I think it's high time that I leave the project and start looking for |
| 20 |
another project where I can contribute something important and not just try to |
| 21 |
keep afloat in a project that I seem to be at odds with to an ever |
| 22 |
increasing degree. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
I'll try to reach all the projects I'm leaving over the next few days and see |
| 25 |
if I can pass on my work in a reasonable manner. I probably won't be around |
| 26 |
much on irc but if you really need to contact me you can do so at |
| 27 |

Good luck to all of you and may Gentoo development be as much fun for you as |
| 30 |
it used to be for me. |

Best regards, |
