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.
