It may or may not be a gratifying job, and it certainly is not paid, but I have a huge amount of respect for Volker's work as release manager, as I had for Jeroen before him and the long (well, not so long) line of their predecessors without whose efforts Sage would not have survived. For many years we all just assumed that William's computers at UW could host everything for ever, and adjusting to the new situation has not been simple. Thanks for all your are doing to help Sage through this period, Volker.
