First I want to say thank you to Eric, for the time and hard work he
has put into the Docs team over the last few years. We have had a
great deal of success in the last few releases thanks to his great
management.

I would also like to say thanks for giving me this opportunity to
lead. We all know that this is not a dictatorship, and that leading a
community is not about making rules, but about helping people to work
together to make a great product and that's what I think we do best. I
don't want to change the way things are done, I just simply want to
help to create the best possible documentation for the best Linux
distro around.

Once again, thanks for the opportunity! I look forward to working more
with everyone.
