[arch-dev-public] Moving on
by Travis Willard 04 Jul '08

04 Jul '08

Hey guys. I've been giving it some thought lately, and I think I need to sit back and assess my priorities in life. My day-job has been taking up a lot of my time lately, and events in my personal life have also increased of late. That leaves little "free time" and I'm finding more and more lately that whenever I get this time free I don't feel like sitting down and spending more time working on Arch after working 9 to 5 in front of a PC. As a result, I'm getting very little done for Arch on a day-to-day basis, and that doesn't feel good. The time I do spend on Arch feels more like work, like an obligation than it ever used to feel. Of the packages I maintain, I actually care about maybe 3. I'm having trouble finding motivation. In any case, it really leaves me with two options: 1) drop some personal-life stuff to prioritize Arch and attempt to rekindle the spark I had when I first started, or 2) gracefully bow out of Arch "development" I have chosen the latter. Believe it or not, it has been a difficult decision. I love Arch, and the people behind it. The distro rocks, and all you guys rock as well. I think I'll miss you all. I really want to see Arch succeed, and the combination of these things has kept me doing stuff for quite a while after it stopped being enjoyable, however now with the large influx of new packagers we're taking on, I think it's the right time for me to step back and let the new guys, each with their own fresh spark for Arch, to take the reins, so to speak. I toyed with the idea of taking a long sabbatical, orphaning my pkgs and coming back in 6 months or a year or something, but I figured it'd be silly to keep me around in the web interface and on the dev page and all that jazz when I'm not even sure whether I plan to return. If I ever feel the desire to take this on again, I'll reapply like a normal person. ;) I'll still be around - love the community, spend more time on the forums while at work than I should, enjoy helping others out, etc... If anybody needs any quick help with anything, I'd be glad to take a look. The last two years have been a blast. Keep the distro going strong guys; it's the best out there. -- Travis

[arch-dev-public] Inactivity notice (sort of)
by Eric Belanger 04 Jul '08

04 Jul '08

Hi, Over this weekend (Friday afternoon-Monday morning), electricity will be shut down in the campus building where my email server is located so it will be turned off during that time. Therefore, I won't have access to email and probably emails sent to me will bounce. However, I'll still be around and available on IRC and Jabber. I'll probably check the archives daily in case something important crops up. Eric -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
