Description Kurt Lieber (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-01-01 16:13:13 UTC
I'd like Eric to join the team to help out with gentoo-server stuff.  I'll be his mentor (with avenj acting as a backup for the things I don't know :)

Please start the process 'n' stuff.

Excerpt from his retirement mail:

It's not without a certain degree of sadness that I add myself to the
list of those recently retired. I'm quite sure that 99.9% of people here
don't know who I am, proving that it's probably time.

I think I felt as if the fight-to-progress ratio fell out of whack with
the projects I was involved in. Without the fight, some of those
projects went in a direction that I don't necessarily think is positive.
While I feel like I tried to correct that as best as I could, I don't
think I succeeded.

At some point I tried to come back to work on the dev-perl part of the
tree and help mcummings et al, but no could tell me what was going on
with my new ssh key (something about too many users on the machine,
moving to ldap, "it will get worked out soon," etc.) and it simply never
worked and, for better or worse, I wasn't prepared to fight to come
back. I wish I could have helped to at least maintain dev-perl again.

Thanks to all. I will miss being part of Gentoo, truly.
