My availability on Svn

[Julian Foad <ju...@apache.org>]

Dear svn devs,

FYI, my main contract has come to an end and my availability to work on 
Subversion is much reduced.  Not that I have been working much on open 
source svn for most of the past year, anyway, but I had assumed I would 
at least continue doing release management, and now I won't have time 
for that.  I'll start a separate thread about handing over RM for 
Subversion 1.14.

I will still be doing occasional paid developments and bug fixes for 
Doug and for anyone else who wants me to.

I will stay in touch as a volunteer and help out where I can.

- Julian

That makes me sad as well, but I see it as a motivation for outreach and
attracting new contributors.

I'll start a separate thread...

Thanks for letting us know and being transparent about this.
I am afraid many of us are in a similar boat :-/

I will be sad to see the energy you've been putting into the project
lately disappear. I hope we will keep up regular maintenance with the
volunteers we have left, including any contributions you can still
afford to make.
