[infinispan-dev] Thank you! JDK 18 Early Access build 20 is now available
by Rory O'Donnell
Hi Galder,
*Thank you.*
I'm retiring at the end of November 2021, it's time to spend more time
with the family.
We started the Quality Outreach back in October 2014. We now have 170+
projects participating.
Thank you for taking the time to provide Testing feedback , excellent
bugs and support throughout
the last seven years.
It's been a pleasure working with you. I am delighted to say that the
program will continue
with the support of the Java DevRel Team, with David Delabassee as your
contact. David has
been assisting with on-boarding new projects for the last couple of years.
All the best, Rory
