Hello everybody, I am not speaking for the PMC, but for myself and from my personal view. I joined the Project in 2016. It has been my became Chairman in end of 2017. As unexperienced as I have been it was the best move for me to go into. It have been an exiting and educating 2 year period as Chairman. Since the PMC has decided we want to change the chair on regular bases and often I fought for my availability until very late in this year. But now I am relieved that I can relax a little from the mails.
I announced early on private to give everyone on the PMC enough time to think his or her availability through. After all it is a free choice to stand up for this. The Chairman is in my eyes a sort of envoy between ASF and PMC. I would not make much of a Fuzz about the change. This is less important then the title implies. I hope we can convince someone else to step up for 2021. Maybe again a fresh face from the none ASF Members on the PMC. That would be super cool. I want to focus next year my time more on project building topics and on development. So this is not to be seen as a stepping down. I would title it more as a position shift. And I am very happy to know Jim will be on the watch @board. I have no doubts that Jim is a good choice. I hope this extensive comment is helping everyone. If you have more I am happy to answer them here on @dev. Just have some patience since due to the shift I will maybe slower on answers. Have fun Peter Am 22.
