chairmen..
If its not too patronising of me I'd like to propose vote of thanks to Sam as outgoing chair,
Sam, I know you've been more involved elsewhere lately, but from a personal point of view I've learned to respect and appreciate the low-key, mature and consensus building way in which you have steered Jakarta through a period of great change. You have worked hard to ensure that allegations of conservatism couldn't be levelled at Jakarta, and have sucessfully encouraged project after project to grow up and follow their own star. If more of us were more like you we'd've achieved so much more by now. Thanks its appreciated.
On a related note, welcome Geir, I'm sure you can count on us to continue to be a bunch of cranky opinionated blowhards who couldn't reach a real decision if our lives depended upon it. :-)

Thanks!
Trust me, I've learned a *lot* in this process.
For fun, take a look at:
http://www.advogato.org/article/395.html
And in particular,
http://www.advogato.org/article/395.html#5
Nowhere was this made more clear to me than on Gump. It has been THIS
experience that has guided my actions for the past several months.
My point? Just because I'm not drawing attention to myself, doesn't
mean that I plan on going anywhere. Or even that I've been involved
elsewhere. Just that I have learned sometimes the way I can help most
is by stepping back.

Thanks Sam, for everything that you've done. And thanks for sticking
around :)
