Hallo Rory,

huh, that’s good for you and bad for us 😊! I was wishing to see you one more time on FOSDEM, but looks like this will not happen (not only because of COVID). Maybe we can still have a beer together in Ireland! Unfortunately, I was not able to visit Ireland up to now, so I have a new target!

Thanks for taking care of the open source projects, this was a great success!

Have a good time with your family!

Uwe

Hi Uwe & Dawid,

*Thank you.*

I'm retiring at the end of November 2021, it's time to spend more time with the family.

We started the Quality Outreach back in October 2014.  We now have 170+ projects participating.

Thank you for taking the time to provide Testing feedback , excellent bugs and support throughout

the last seven years.

It's been a pleasure working with you. I am delighted to say that the program will continue

with the support of the Java DevRel Team, with David Delabassee as your contact. David has

been assisting with on-boarding new projects for the last couple of years.

All the best, Rory
