You can be sure that we will definitely miss you! You have provided lots
of very interesting input together with great work that will definitely
make a gap!

I wish you all the best for your PhD!

As much as I regret this decision, I understand this is for your good. I'm 
looking forward to see you back with us (I'm sure it will be soon).

Good luck Dr. Mantha!

Hey Jordon,

 It has been a pleasure working with you. I'm hoping we can stay in touch
and I wish you the best of luck with your PhD!

Cheers,

Cody

 For those of you subscribed to the -motu list that don't know Jordan
Mantha, Jordan has done some amazing work over the years. He'll definitely
be missed and his lack of presence felt. If you see him on IRC, be sure to
give him a big hug and thank you. If you have time, be sure to ask him about
the top secret labs at the Department of Education :)

sabbatical

2008-05-14 Thread Jordan Mantha
Hello MOTU Land,

It has really come to my attention that I need to have a sabbatical time
away from Ubuntu development. For people who know me this is no surprise as
I've been struggling to get my PhD and "real life" in better order for
better than a year now. In recent weeks I've felt increasingly frustrated
with some aspects of Ubuntu development and community and I feel like for
the betterment of myself and the community I should take some serious time
off. I'm very hopeful that I'll be able to come back at some point so I'm
considering this a sabbatical and not a goodbye.

Because I'm a firm believer in the Ubuntu Code of Conduct and have a couple
of leadership positions within MOTU I'm writing this email as a part of
"Step down considerately". Right now I act as the MOTU/LP liaison and a
member of the MOTU SRU team, but I will step down from those positions as
soon as replacements are found and/or current work is finished.

I cherish the time I've had to work with you all and count many of you as
some of my very best friends. Good luck with Intrepid.

-Jordan Mantha
