Thanks Sean for your service on the TC. Your experience and knowledge of open source development dynamics will be missed ! I really appreciated your insights and grounded perspective in difficult governance discussions that we had to navigate together. I hope you'll still be able to weigh in on some of those, even if you won't participate in formal votes anymore.
