Thanks for remembering me! But I haven't been active for the past two |
| 24 |
years or so. I requested retirement last February (bug #175274), but |
| 25 |
it hasn't been processed yet. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
May I take the opportunity to request that finally gets done? I still |
| 28 |
get lots of mail from Gentoo, but I really am not seeing myself |
| 29 |
return. I would log in and remove myself from various email aliases, |
| 30 |
but I would have to go through the process of updating my keys |
| 31 |
first... |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Also, seeing bugs and packages still assigned to me four months after |
| 34 |
I requested retirement, is not exactly an encouraging sign for the |
| 35 |
state of Gentoo. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
And if anyone is curious as to the reasons why I left, it is mostly |
| 38 |
because my interests shifted. I'm spending my free time now mostly on |
| 39 |
making music, which is just so much more convenient on Windows than it |
| 40 |
is on Linux. https://soundcloud.com/ablauto if anyone is interested... |

Thank you all for the good times I had in Gentoo, especially Patrick |
| 43 |
Lauer, Steve Dibb, and the members of the Qt team. I wish you well in |
| 44 |
your endeavors! |
