I regret that I must write this email, but I think that it is time that we began discussing this issue.
I celebrated my 70th birthday last fall, and a month later I underwent surgery for cancer. While I am now cancer free, that experience brought home to me that I am mortal and that I will not live forever. One of my greatest regrets is that I have not been more successful at creating a wider community around Shorewall development. Yes -- there are people who contribute to the code base and for those folks, I am extremely grateful. But the bulk of the core development has always been mine. So we need to begin thinking about what happens when I am no longer able to contribute. Let's start this conversation by asking if any of you on the list are interested in taking over the lead on Shorewall development. If you are, I will be happy to turn over the reins at your pace. There is no urgency, but I would really like for Shorewall to continue after I am gone. Regards, -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ When I die, I want to go like my Grandfather who Shoreline, \ died peacefully in his sleep. Not screaming like Washington, USA \ all of the passengers in his car http://shorewall.net \________________________________________________
