Hi all,
I've thinking this for a while, and it is, I quit (I had many doubts about if I am doing the right thing, so this wasn't an easy choice).
I want to thank those all people who helped me (hdoria, Allan, BaSh, voidnull, dsa, bardo, and someother ppl), and I beg to the people that I've sponsored (Anders,haawda,even,ornitorrincos) don't feel disappointed, I trusted you to be here, and I hope to have you here for long time :-).
Unfortunatelly, I got disappointed with many things, then I lost my enthusiasm... So I decided to left apart the crew and make more effort on other goals in my life. I will continue using Arch (until now I still thinking "Arch is the best distro that I found"), but I won't continue collaborating like I usually did, but surelly I will be pleased to be helpful if anyone needs me.
This was a good chapter in my life, because I really enjoyed being a TU and being a part of an important Open Source project (for me Arch was very important in my life). Feel free to grab and drop any of my packages, I won't continue maintaining them, for now no-one is out-of-date, just mysql-gui-tools, because r14 isn't easy at all to build, and I tried several times but I failed to package a version with this release..
Very sad to know this. I knew you was thinking about that but I hoped your choice was different.
Best wishes for you, and I hope the project gets more enthusiastic people (like the great community that we have) everyday, and maybe (who knows?) I will got involved again. And we'll be here to say welcome back to you.
good luck for all Angel! BEST REGARDS -- Andrea `BaSh` Scarpino Arch Linux Developer
