Thanks everyone for your kind words. It has been an honor to serve as PMC Chair. And congratulations Stamatis! You were a great Chair in the past, and you'll be a great Chair throughout this year. I subscribe to Stamatis' words: it is a pleasure working within this community, with so many hardworking and motivating people collaborating (in fact volunteering) to improve our project everyday. Let's keep up the good work in 2023!
