I hope this doesn’t mean that you retire from Libre Graphics Meeting project.

Alexandre: Next year, LGM is in Montreal, and it’s Louis who will be doing all the heavy lifting. Of course I will be there to help as I can when my help is needed.

That’s relieving to know, if the word “relieve” is applicable to such a context at all.

I can understand you so much. The best thing is to ignore some of people out there.

It saddens me to see so many talented people leaving their positions. It appears to be in a lot of areas in the Open Source industry.

I sincerely hope that fences can be mended and those who want to make a living with open source..do so. Those who just like to contribute PLEASE continue.

C’est celui que j’appréciais le plus qui s’en va de ce projet. Merci pour tout et à bientôt peut-être sur un autre projet

Best of luck in whatever you decided to do next. It is remarkable you have stuck at it as long as you have. I remember your efforts to promote a Roadmap were not well received, amongst other great ideas which didn’t catch on. The gimp developers have shall we say an unusual style of working.

If someone as determined as you is taking a step back it makes me think seriously about quietly unsubscribing from the gimp lists too.

I am saddened to hear that you are leaving the GIMP project (I would probably be disconcerted about your other situation if I weren’t so heavily sedated .

Any volunteer activity needs to be, first and foremost, “fun” for those who participate. While goals, rules, and production are not worthless concerns, nothing will destroy a volunteer project quicker than a lack of reward for those who volunteer; and without volunteers to contribute, those other concerns DO become meaningless.

As a GIMP user, I thank you for your contributions to the project and I wish you well on your next.

For all the fuss about certain people abusing the lists it looks like my mails are now being blocked from the list without any warning or reason being given.

Alan, I strongly disagree with Yosh about blocking your mails but there have been warnings and you ignored them. You aren’t going to make us believe that this step surprised you because you asked for it, loud and clearly.
