It’s not an easy task, but I thought deeply about it. This will be my last post on planet Gentoo. I will leave the project.
I’ve been a developer for more that five years now. I saw good and bad times of Gentoo. And I wish I could find the time to help more. But with the end of my study last summer and the begin of my full-time job, this is not possible any more. My commits decreased more and more. My bugs laid around for a long time. This is not acceptable – neither for me nor for the users.
Furthermore I live now in one of the best cities in Europe: Cologne. I like to spend my leisure time with visiting concerts and other cultural events. And there are a lot of in this town.
I liked to be a Gentoo developer, as I could learn a lot. Nowadays I need that knowledge for my daily work. There are a lot of Linux tasks in my job, although none Gentoo related. But that’s also interesting.
You can still find me at some Linux-related events over here in Europe. I will also stay in the board of the „Friends of Gentoo e.V.“ in Germany. And you might see some bug reports or contributions from me. So, don’t take this as a farewell for eternity.
Let me thank all the developers I met during the last years and especially those I had a beer with 🙂
Good bye.
Good luck, lots of fun… and thank you!
Sad to see you go :-(. Thank you for your work, us users appreciate it!
Hope you have a good time in Koln (wonder how I do an ‘o’ umlaut on a UK kb layout – can’t be arsed to look up the code.)
Thanks for your work on Gentoo.
Much appreciated.
Cheers

Nah, I hope to have a beer with you sometimes. Lots of lucks with your new job.
Let me be the first to thank you for all the work and efforts!
Normally, a message like this from a gentoo dev, involves bullshit about problems with other devs or something alike.. but this is just awesome: a nice job, concerts.. go go Lars!
Wish you a lot of luck and fun with the job, and especially with the concerts!
Yo!
I know exactly how you feel cuz I did the same three months ago.
We’ll have our beer(s) soon enough now that you live here 😉
cheers
