Hi Rory, Best of wishes for your retirement! We'll miss you, and thanks a lot for all you did for our community, this program has been brilliant. I still have fond memories of our conversations at FOSDEM :) Was hoping we'd do it again in the future. Hi David, good to see you involved here as well :) Cheers, Sanne On Tue, 26 Oct 2021 at 17:15, Rory O'Donnell <rory.odonnell(a)oracle.com&gt; wrote: Hi Sanne & Yoann, *Thank you.* I'm retiring at the end of November 2021, it's time to spend more time with the family.
