Howdy All,
I've decided that its time for me to move on from Gentoo. I have no
ill feelings and still enjoy using the distribution. With work and
everything else going on in life I don't have much time to devote to
the distribution anymore. I am sure at some point I'll emerge from
retirement. Happy Gentooing.
Regards,
Ryan Phillips

I'm sorry to see you go. You were a big help to me when I first came
to Gentoo, and one of the reasons I let Seemant and Kurt talk me into
becoming a dev :)
Best of luck with your retirement.
Best regards,
Stu

I've been mostly inactive for a good while but hanging on mostly for
sentimentality's sake, it's past time for that to stop.
I mostly only maintain a small handful of ebuilds, I'm sure they can
find proper homes quickly. None are maintenance-intensive.
And of course, the only thing anyone is really concerned about; robbat2
has already laid claim to fortune-mod-gentoo-dev ;)
Later. It's been fun, it's been real, but it hasn't been real fun. :)
I'll be around #gentoo/#-dev.

Wow, this retirement f*cks me up some, I have to say. I'll give you a
better send off on the planet blogs, because for now I'm still reeling
from the news.
I'll miss you, that's for sure.

So long, thanks for all you've done. Thanks too for f-m-g-dev, too. :D.

I feel a bid sad to see you go. Even sadder that because of legalities you
never got to serve on the board of trustees. For the rest, all the best of
luck and see you around.

Thanks for everything, Jon. You've been a great friend and will continue

It's a damn shame to see you go. I guess most of today's devs won't
know or appreciate just how much you've done for Gentoo over the
years.
Best of luck in whatever you're up to next, and if you ever make it
over to this side of the pond, I still owe you a beer.
All the best,
Stu

Sorry to see you go Jon. I've appreciated your guidance over the years,
particularly when I took on the daunting task of managing Gentoo/amd64 in
early 2004. Gentoo feels a little smaller with your departure.

Hi,
I (anigel) was thinking about it since a few months, but "real life
requirements" made me really take the decision : I'm retiring from the
Gentoo Project.
For administrative aspects of the procedure : I asked to be removed
from french moderation team yesterday, i was effective a efw minutes
later (thanks mark_alec). Since It seems that keeping access to dgo
requires to pass the docs' quizz, I then prefer just to give up (can't
/ don't-want-to take time to pass the test anyway, for some work I was
already doing without this test, even if it probably wasn't of first
importance). I already backed up the few bytes of my account, so feel
free to remove it. Since I cannot change my e-mail adress on bugzilla,
would it be possible to change it back from anigel@gentoo.org to
lewalton@gmail.com please ? My account on the forum is already
registered back to this account, so no need to change anything there
;-).
I had a lot of fun with Gentoo, and it was a real pleasure to work
with the distro users / devs. Special mention for the forums
moderation team : thank you all guys, your messages really pleased me
: let me say you you are the best forum team actually !
Best regards,
Hubert.

You need to open a new account. See

Hi folks,
I've decided to retire as a Gentoo dev.
I've been a dev for almost exactly 3 years as part of the Haskell team.
I was team leader for a year or so. I managed to recruit kolmodin a
couple years ago and handed team leadership over to him a few months
ago. It's now his turn to recruit some more people to keep the Haskell
team well staffed.
My decision is based on real world time commitments. I'm in the late
stages of writing up my PhD thesis and I've recently started a Haskell
consultancy company <shameless-plug href="www.well-typed.com"/>. I don't
intend to do much less work packaging but I intend to shift my focus
from Gentoo packaging to the central Haskell packaging infrastructure
http://hackage.haskell.org/. All QA improvements there benefit Gentoo.
I'll still have commit access to the haskell overlay and to the hackport
tool for automatically converting packages hackage->portage. I'll still
be in #gentoo-haskell if you want to find me.
I'd like to thank everyone for being welcoming and friendly and
answering my stupid questions. Thanks especially to the arch teams for
all the time they put in for us in testing and stabilising Haskell
packages on such a wide range of platforms. I feel I should also
apologise to jer for constantly breaking ghc on hppa ;-). Thanks also to
jakub for his work filtering and redirecting bugs to us, along with the
occasional helpful insight.
Best of luck everyone.

That's OK. I like to think we were having fun. :)

Hello list,
As usual with this kind of mails, this has been long overdue, but it's
about time that I retire from Gentoo.
For a while Gentoo hasn't been going into a direction I like, and to me
it doesn't look like that's about to change any time soon. Despite attempts
to convince me of the contrary, I'm not sure I see the technical
advancements that I'd like happening, in Gentoo. That aside there're
numerous non-technical problems behind the scenes, that most devs
probably acknowledge by now...
There're other projects in the Free-Software world that I currently
enjoy putting my time into more, I'm sure it's more than obvious to those
of you who know me which...
So long,
Ingmar Vanhassel, ex-Gentoo KDE developer.

My retirement is probably long overdue as I haven't really been active for
several months. It is now clear to me that Gentoo is not moving in the
direction I had wished for and the last council election indicates that most
current Gentoo developers appear to be satisfied with this current direction.
Therefore farewell. If anybody wants to reach me I can be reached at
bo.andresen at zlin.dk.

Adios guys, and thanks for all the work you've put into Gentoo while you
were here! Best of luck on your future endeavors.

Hello all,
My life has changed quickly over the last several months, especially
with marriage and the like. My motivation for working on Gentoo is
almost nil at this point, and I don't see it picking back up any time
soon. It's best if I retire.
This is a great distro and a great community. I'll try to help where I
can, but as a user, not a developer.
Thanks,
-- Chris

Dear everyone,
I hesitated for quite a while before making this decision, mostly due to
"if not me, who else?" considerations - but in the end, I feel the time
has come for me to hand in my OpenPGP keys and retire from Gentoo
development at the end of June.
These ~8 years have been a very interesting time for me, not in the
least thanks to my involvement in getting Gentoo Linux ready for 64-bit
RISC-V and my term on the Council. That said, when Roy mentioned in
response to one of the other recent retirements that this is supposed to
be fun, I realised that - with all the obscure test failures I was never
able to reproduce, the perennial battles for compatibility with
alternative toolchains and MUSL, the loss of co-maintainers of several
packages, the growing number of bugs specific to arches I haven't got
much interest in as far as Gentoo is concerned, and the changes to my
personal circumstances which began about 2 years ago and have yet to
conclude - that this has been anything *but* fun for me lately.
I am planning to spend the next 2.5 weeks tackling at least part of my
current bug backlog. Will see how far ahead I can get with this.
Thank you for your work, ladies and gentlemen of Gentoo. And good luck.
