Geoff Clare has been a critical member of this group, our principal
document editor, monitor of emails, and leader of discussions since
the formation of the Austin Group. He is to retire shortly, and
2026-02-05 will be his last meeting with us. We are very sad to see
you leave, but wish you a happy retirement! Thankyou Geoff!

Oh! Feels like it's Mr POSIX who's leaving.
Thank you very much Geoff for being such a cornerstone of that
international standard that managed to bring a whole (almost)
industry and communities together for almost four decades.
You can leave with the knowledge that your work has been greatly
appreciated the world over.
All the best in your new life whatever you end up doing!
Cheers,
Stephane
Hey... I ran into Geoff first a lifetime ago, I had a short stint with
UniSoft a while after its combination with Root, and his name was all
over the testsuite I worked on.
Geoff - absolutely enjoy your retirement!!! These days it's harder and
harder in tech to make it to there on your own terms! (I didn't, but
that's not the story here).
