[arch-dev-public] Resigning
Hi all. The practical effect of this message is precisely nothing, as I have been inactive for quite a while now. For the last few months, real life has been increasingly demanding, but I was hoping I would find a way to accommodate Arch activities alongside the usual chaos and mayhem. It's now clear that this is not going to happen any time soon, so I've orphaned my remaining packages, and I'm now returning the key to the Arch executive washroom. I hope to return at some point, but I can't say when that will be. Being an Arch dev has been a revelation to me, and it has been wonderful working with you all. I will continue to be a keen Arch user, and will do my best to contribute in some capacity, as time permits. I would like to retain my subscription to this list, read-only of course, and I will discuss my status as forum mod and irc op with the respective teams. I have no doubt that Arch will continue to thrive, guided by an extraordinarily committed dev team, and supported by an enthusiastic user community. I wish you all the very best of luck. Go n-eírí an bóthar leat Tom K.

I'm sorry to hear that. Which packages is it that you orphaned?

And when/if you come back, at least I will welcome you.

Hi Tom, I know that real life does take a lot of time, and even more for us, that are fathers... I have 2 boys and a little girl here and i really know that sometimes it is very difficult to have time to other things besides family et al. So, go luck in all things and i will welcome you too in your return. See ya

Hang on a sec, let me dry my tears. :( Seriously, though, it's sad to see you go. But such is that way of open source. People come and go. You will be missed, and we'll welcome you back if you ever get the time again. And I fully understand the real-life obligations. I've been slacking myself for about a month now, due to real life. Don't worry, it's something we all know.

Thanks to you, and to everyone here, for the good words. I will be floating around, still using Arch, keeping in touch with developments as much as I can. I'll miss devworld, but it's not a sad development for me - it's just what works best for the next while.

Gaelic, I suppose - I just call it Irish. In Irish, it's called Gaeilge. :) T.
