Hi, I would like to go emeritus. I've been hesitating for quite long time because I'm still emotionally connected to this project.
Cocoon was the first open source project that I contributed to and it's amazing community shaped me as professional programmer. I literally grew up with you guys learning how to create great software, foster great community and how to communicate long before I got enrolled into university. You've been really influential on how I perceived and continue to perceive open source. Also, I enjoyed your company as a group of great people. I would like to especially thank Daniel Fagerstrom, Reinhard Potz and David Crossley. This is a sad moment for me but I must admit that I see no chance for contributing to Cocoon again in a foreseeable future. Actually, I don't even program in Java anymore. I moved to Scala and I don't want to look back. You can learn a bit about my recent project over here: http://scalagwt.gogoego.com/. I'll update my records in svn in a week and I'll contact PMC to inform about my decision. Thanks for a great time and I hope to meet you again in a future. -- Best regards, Grzegorz Kossakowski
