Re: Connie Sieh, founder of Scientific Linux, retires from Fermilab
Hi, just wanted to say a huge thanks. We all benefited hugely from your work and work of a whole SL team. Hope You still have a many happy roads open for You in the future :-). cheers!

Thanks to Connie Sieh
I just wanted to publicly say thanks to Connie Sieh for all the work she has done at Scientific Linux. We are sort of competitors, but in the open source community that does not really mean the same thing as it does in other places. Connie (and Pat and Bonnie) have put for tremendous effort and the entire enterprise Linux community has benefited greatly as a result. I just want to wish Connie the best in whatever she decides to do now. Hey, we can use some volunteers at CentOS :) Thanks, Johnny Hughes The CentOS Project signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Re: Connie Sieh, founder of Scientific Linux, retires from Fermilab
Congratulations, Connie. I recall your gallery of pictures in earlier versions of the SL installer. I wish you the very best light for the many shots to come in your retirement.

Thank you Connie for all the years of effort creating what we all enjoy today.
I hope your retirement is a time of enjoyment and and comfort.

Re: Connie Sieh, founder of Scientific Linux, retires from Fermilab
Wow. Connie, you are a national treasure as far as I am concerned. Thank you for all the incredible work you put in over the years; SL and the support from your team were a lifesaver in a previous job, and still very helpful. Blessings on you and all you do! -Miles
