So I'm scaling back, but not retiring. I've tried to reflect my current level of participation by updating the packages for which I was sole or primary Maintainer, putting DPMT or PAPT in the Maintainer field and moving myself to Uploaders[*]. This reflects my h= ope that the team will be better able to maintain these packages than I will ri= ght now, and should remove me as the single point of failure for their continued improvement in Debian. As per team conventions, this means you don't have = to ask my permission to make changes to the packages. If I've missed any, ple= ase do let me know. I am not giving up on Debian or Ubuntu! I still feel strongly about their importance and excellence in the open source and free software world, and about their strengths as Linux distributions. I still use them both! And = I'm still keenly interested in the migration to Python 3 across the whole Python ecosystem, and Debian in particular. I'll continue to contribute where I can and as time allows. But for now, as my participation in Debian is solely on my own free time, I've found that I have competing interests for that time, and I plan to spend it in other way= s. The Debian Python community continues to exemplify the best in collaborative development. DPMT and PAPT are fantastic teams, filled with great people, = and smart developers, and I have always felt honored to be part of it. I'm hap= py to continue to contribute, even if in a more tangential role for now. I'm back on IRC again, so as always, if I can help with anything, please don't hesitate to reach out. Cheers, -Barry [*] I've made the changes in the git repos, but not necessarily uploaded new versions. --Sig_//8q63btUeXSjiYpF3ebEmEO Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJZpCjNAAoJEBJutWOnSwa/Xy8P/1QqKsww8FAhpyH3I8GKtwkW STsA3CZDXTyVoPU5wi9aYh56w25bjVlxPUbkIyXfR7UkKRag48nvb57ZqA0f2PB0 9kFfmGvaQCdMim9hLq4D4IptjtEOLln1r4GtyOYKAQJzUbY9IF+Q35YUQYDZMRuA 1t0opg7kTTE1FVhEwaH+k7lG0jEz7XlqmrK0aU5241JguQKx6CWTYSMdKT0e0vap Q9LwnTcFYbae5rxq7Q2hNX5gyfcKdtrmgkDzDhZAS5Wc8cmpatmTOWGBD9j/7Ist ScsGFfiNKL9Z8aygkFSkkV5T1sWiH3vOs650FmvM8NcrpV07JFaCv+fLaEYuMC3I /jp8odedkV2RXF5btZej/zfRddtbyqZwWk38kISmgd74gX4OTeS29+2iq75ybIMm bJQIh6lyFP6HsFUrf6LdmYivfLdx6RSABqjY7F4Ha6ufySOk4d8vOVJl7pJCASMw ZZMclkZ0Tx8sYvvZ588QfRgfCUagSXUaH8D4oFX/sBmnxelKaEE7e5KN8NZBI30x RwjasOMh/ihCpn0ZrrPmpqu2es6a+2IbGOlfFgyrOlzcZ/5dzUUFdKLYji+vhu6y Xd2GEQBcnRy8yRP8h8jyLNxcYiiQCVcq08PN2fNXzQXjhL66FCXLDO/ONU0mNJcG ddfUThvMk/R0FJQqESKQ =1OJw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_//8q63btUeXSjiYpF3ebEmEO--
