You're a great example for our community! Thanks for all the work you've done! Unfortunately we lost the Brazilian guy on the board! That's the right decision, I think. Welcome to the team. My daughter is 4 months old now and these times were incredible! "Não basta ser pai, tem que participar!" (in our secret language, pt_BR - somebody will ask about it) is the rule! > So, considering my priorities now, I feel that I would be more useful > to the Board by stepping down and letting another person with a lot of > energy to take my position on Board for the rest of this mandate.

I don't personally know (yet) Jorge Castro, just bothered him with some mails, but I see that he is rocking on our community. So, I want to say: Congrats, Jorge! I tried to find where you've born without success, but considering your name and surname, I think that the Latin America Complot (http://www.mail-archive.com/foundation-list@gnome.org/msg03288.html) is in the road! > I've had a great time in my two and a half years on Foundation Board. > It was a great way to support the community in several ways and to > work with some very nice people.

Is there any decision about the baby's name? Cheers!
