Retiring from TB at end of term
I'd like to give advance notice that I intend to retire from the Ubuntu Technical Board at the end of my current term (2013-10-06 according to Launchpad), and do not intend to seek re-election. This isn't due to anything in particular, and I'll still be around; I've just served more than four years, including helping with some pretty major changes in our governance (for instance, when I started the Developer Membership Board didn't exist and none of the package set infrastructure was in place), and it's about time to let somebody else have a go.

We do continue to reject posts that are unsuitable or more suitable elsewhere, too. -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@ubuntu.com] -- technical-board mailing list technical-board@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/technical-board
