I'd like to take the only responsible step and hand my responsibilities off.</span></font></div>

<font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial, sans-serif"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 17px;">The Long Version: I didn't expect to see myself writing this email. I'm currently a student at Olin working really hard to make it through finals and at the same time fighting RSI and dealing with other things (<a href="http://sdziallas.com/blog/sebastian/2010/11/a-kid-in-the-candy-store.html">http://sdziallas.com/blog/sebastian/2010/11/a-kid-in-the-candy-store.html</a>). But I also feel that I've been dragging this e-mail out way too long. I'm sorry. Nevertheless, I'm proud of what we accomplished over the past years.</span></font></div>

<font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial, sans-serif"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 17px;">I have great memories from the initial release of Sugar on a Stick at LinuxTag (<a href="http://sdziallas.com/blog/sebastian/2009/06/strawberries-for-everyone-now.html">http://sdziallas.com/blog/sebastian/2009/06/strawberries-for-everyone-now.html</a>) and I still smile when I think of how we recovered from the ridiculous unsustainability of the second release (<a href="http://opensource.com/education/09/12/tasty-blueberry">http://opensource.com/education/09/12/tasty-blueberry</a>) and eventually even made the third release as a team together (<a href="http://sdziallas.com/blog/sebastian/2010/05/mirabelles-they-are-there.html">http://sdziallas.com/blog/sebastian/2010/05/mirabelles-they-are-there.html</a>). Looking back, I found myself skimming old wiki pages and blog posts (<a href="http://blog.melchua.com/2010/06/04/the-history-of-the-soas-mirabelle-release-learning-from-the-past/">http://blog.melchua.com/2010/06/04/the-history-of-the-soas-mirabelle-release-learning-from-the-past/</a>).</span></font></div>

<font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial, sans-serif"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 17px;">I'm particularly thankful for the experiences I had and the people I met. However, I feel that it's time to move on. I'll be unsubscribing from a couple of mailing lists, but I'll continue to work on bridging open source and education on various levels and I'm always open to direct email. Just a ping away. Email this address.</span></font></div>

<font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial, sans-serif"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 17px;">For Sugar on a Stick, Peter Robinson has alreading been leading the effort up to the latest Mango Lassi release of Sugar on a Stick and done an incredible work over the past year, leaving me confident that everything was taken care of when I had to focus on my studies (both in Germany and the US). I know from personal experience that taking on this work isn't an easy task and I don't want to assume that you're just going to continue doing it infinitely. It is your call. But you've done a great job. Thanks, Peter!</span></font></div>
