Statement regarding employment change and roles in the Project
Dear FreeBSD community: As I have a highly-visible role within the community, I want to share some news. I have decided the time has come to move on from my role with the FreeBSD Foundation, this Friday being my last day. I have accepted a position within a prominent company that uses and produces products based on FreeBSD. My new employer has included provisions within my job description that allow me to continue supporting the FreeBSD Project in my current roles, including Release Engineering. There are no planned immediate changes with how this pertains to my roles within the Project and the various teams of which I am a member. FreeBSD 11.3 and 12.1 will continue as previously scheduled, with no impact as a result of this change. I want to thank everyone at the FreeBSD Foundation for providing the opportunity to serve the FreeBSD Project in my various roles, and their support for my decision. I look forward to continue supporting the FreeBSD Project in my various roles moving forward. Glen -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

After all, everything I do depends on FreeBSD, and being able to justfy us continue using it commerically depends on it doing what it is supposed to reliably, day-in, day-out. Release engingeering is a vital part of making that happen. So, for me, at least, a heartfelt "thankyou" for all the effort you have put into the project, and I wish you well in what you do next! -pete.
