(a) I am still here, just not as much as I used to be, because day to

from a Fedora perspective and a personal perspective. I hope that
people can separate "Max their friend" from "Max the Fedora person
with whom they work from time to time".
I really don't want to turn this into a personal thread -- but I'll say
one more thing here. I wish that I *did* have more time to spend on
Fedora. I wish that I was still more personally active. But spending
100% of my time on Fedora is no longer what Red Hat asks me to do.
What Red Hat asks me to do is to look after a number of communities that
Red Hat cares about -- Fedora being one of them -- by working to grow
and lead a Community team that does participate in different parts of
the larger Fedora Project.

As Gerold, Fabian, and Jeroen correctly predicted when we had dinner
together in Germany 18 months ago and I told them that my changing job
responsibilities were taking me back to Raleigh from Europe a bit sooner
than I expected, my *personal* time for Fedora Ambassadors has
definitely dropped. I'm not proud of that, but it's the truth, and must
be acknowledged as such.
For that reason, I will not seek re-election to FAMSCO in 2011. But I,
and the team that I am a part of, will continue to make sure that the
Fedora Project has the funding that it needs (much of which is spent on
Ambassadors, FUDCons, and FADs).
