Guido, thank you for the immense amount of time and energy you've devoted to both designing and developing Python-the-language, and also to building and supporting python-dev-the-collaborative-community. I know I'd be a different person without the years of freely shared experience, knowledge, and advice that I've benefited from by being part of this group. > I'll still be here, but I'm trying to let you all figure something out for > yourselves. I'm tired, and need a very long break. Take all the time you need - you've built a strong design community here, and hopefully we can arrange things in away that allows you to rediscover the fun parts of contributing without the burden of always needing to be the ultimately responsible decision maker :) Cheers, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncogh...@gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia _______________________________________________ python-committers mailing list python-committers@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-committers Code of Conduct: https://www.python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
