Stephen, since we started this project I've seen you grow into the leadership position taking over and improving the initial skeleton I built together with you and others. You've done so very very well, I never had to fear SSSD would take a wrong technical direction when I was busy on other stuff as I trusted your lead 100%. So it is with mixed feelings that I see you leave. The project loses a great contributor, however I am happy you are moving on in your career as you deserve a step forward.
Jakub, you have big shoes to fill in but I am sure you are up to the task as your constant activity has shown. A warm welcome to our new SSSD overlord! :-) Simo.
