Dear fellow NUT developers, after almost exactly two years as a NUT developer, I have concluded that this would be a good time to retire from active development. The project is in good shape, and the driver I was most involved with (usbhid-ups) is in better condition than ever, due to the excellent recent work of Arjen de Korte. Having already scaled back my activity for the last 6 months, I still find the daily mailing list traffic a lot to handle. So as of today, I have disactivated my active membership of the mailing lists (I am still subscribed for posting, but not for receipt). Of course, I will still be available to help, where I can, with specific questions about my drivers (belkinunv, usbhid-ups) or the configure/automake system. But such mails will have to be cc'd to me directly from now on, as I will no longer receive the list postings. Thanks to everyone for the great team spirit that has made this such an enjoyable project to work on! Best, -- Peter

I'll surely miss the sparring partner you've been for me in the past few months while working on it.> Having already scaled back my activity for the last 6 months, I still > find the daily mailing list traffic a lot to handle.

So thanks for all the fishes, your many contributions to NUT and your help in building the NUT team and revitalizing the project in general. We will miss you Peter. But on the other hand, that's quite understandable, and it makes me really happy for you. Have fun with your family, and give us some news from time to time.
