After several months and much thought, I've decided to re-focus on where my passions lie, which is release engineering and development. I intend to remain just as visible in the project as I was before the last election, so please don't think that I'm moving on from FreeBSD. Quite the opposite is true, in fact. The remaining Core members are doing a good job of handling the issues of the project, and as per the by-laws there will not be any action to fill my vacancy at this time. There is no conspiracy here. It's simply a recognition that I was wearing too many hats, and that some of those hats didn't fit as comfortably as others. I hope to become more productive in FreeBSD in the near future; my decision has already given me more time and energy to work on things like driver locking and ATAPICAM, and I have some very interesting projects starting in the background that I'm very excited about. Many thanks to those who supported me and my time on team. Scott
