[gentoo-osx] Taking a break

We feel as though it's a good time to take a break from the project  
for a bit. As such, we'll not be responsive on this list, IRC, etc.  
for some time. Should anyone need to contact us urgently, we will  
still (kinda) check our e-mail, so just e-mail us directly (and flag  
the message as 'important' or throw 'URGENT' in the subject line).

We also won't be handling any more of the administrative work for the  
project that we have been in the past. Someone (or the entire rest of  
the team) should probably pick up the slack, although there's  
obviously nobody to enforce that. It's not something that we terribly  
enjoy, and goes more or less unappreciated. Like everyone else, upon  
return, we'll fall back to going after personal goals within the  
project that happen to interest us.

Should the consensus on arch testers (or whatever you want to call  
people who test unstable/unkeyworded packages and provide proper bug  
reports, etc.) change, someone should let Mike (shootingstar), as I  
think that all of us agree that he's a wonderful candidate as an arch  
tester and future dev.

We have asked devrel to remove the recruitment message, as we won't  
be managing recruitment anymore.

We're not leaving the project just yet. Again, we just feel it's a  
good time for us to take a bit of a breather.

Thanks.

May greener pastures great you on the other side.

Would you mind contacting me (on or off list) with a description of the 
administrative work you're referencing so that I can do what I can to 
help in this area?

Your investment in time and effort has been greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

I feel very sorry to hear this.

I appreciate all of your (both) efforts and time you have put into me. 
I have lots to learn, but I'm happy with the base I got from you.

I hope there will be room in the future for some fruitful cooperation. 
If not I hope I can still have a chat with you two every once in a while 
when I'm not here in this group, or Gentoo as a whole.

Best regards,
Fabian
