Bertrand, Thank you very much for reaching out. I put the following in the upcoming board report, but I'll repeat it here because I think it sums things up:
"If nothing else, it's clear we all care very deeply about having successful open source software projects." To that end, let's all move forward. There is a lot to do, but it's clear to me that we have the talent, resources, community and organizational support to succeed.
