Going emeritus

[Grzegorz Kossakowski <gk...@apache.org>]

Hi,

I would like to go emeritus. I've been hesitating for quite long time
because I'm still emotionally connected to this project.

Cocoon was the first open source project that I contributed to and it's
amazing community shaped me as professional programmer. I literally grew up
with you guys learning how to create great software, foster great community
and how to communicate long before I got enrolled into university. You've
been really influential on how I perceived and continue to perceive open
source. Also, I enjoyed your company as a group of great people.

I would like to especially thank Daniel Fagerstrom, Reinhard Potz and David
Crossley.

This is a sad moment for me but I must admit that I see no chance for
contributing to Cocoon again in a foreseeable future. Actually, I don't even
program in Java anymore. I moved to Scala and I don't want to look back. You
can learn a bit about my recent project over here:
http://scalagwt.gogoego.com/.

I'll update my records in svn in a week and I'll contact PMC to inform about
my decision.

Thanks for a great time and I hope to meet you again in a future.

Best regards,
