To whom it may concern, this is to inform the PostgreSQL community of my retirement from my PostgreSQL core team position. Over the past years I have not been able to dedicate as much time to PostgreSQL as everyone would have liked. The main reason for that was that I was swamped with other work and private matters and simply didn't have time. I did follow the mailing lists but did not participate much.
Your good humor and technical brilliance have been sorely missed.
Looking at my publicly visible involvement over the last two years or so, there is little that would justify me being on the core team today. I was not involved in the release process, in patch reviewing, organizing and have contributed little. However, in contrast to other previous core team members, I do not plan to disappear. Very much to the contrary. I am right now picking up some things that have long been on my TODO wish list and Afilias is doubling down on the commitment to PostgreSQL and Slony. We can and should talk about that stuff next week at PGCon in Ottawa. I will also stay in close contact with the remaining core team members, many of whom have become very good friends over the past 15 years. The entire core team, me included, hoped that it wouldn't come to this and that I could have returned to active duty earlier. Things in my little sub universe didn't change as fast as we all hoped and we all think it is best now that I focus on getting back to speed and do some serious hacking.
We hope for many more good things from you yet!
I hope to see many of you in Ottawa.
You'll certainly see me! Best wishes and many thanks for your good work over so many years. andrew -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
