Hi Tom, Thank you for everything that you have contributed to the community and for the time/energy you invested in helping the project and our global user communities grow to tremendous heights.
I also want to sincerely thank you for the personal impact you’ve had on my path within the community and general guidance throughout the years. You will be sorely missed and I echo the others when I say that we hope to see you around. I won’t be around Sydney so I’m hoping we get a future opportunity to share some Moscow mules and trade stories. I would be disappointed if our paths didn’t cross again! Continue fighting for the users in your future endeavors.
