<br>
thanks 1,000,000 for your hard work and for the numerous times you
helped out on bugs and IRC with my silly Addonz questions!<br>

The gap will be hard to fill....<br>

<b>Subject:</b> Stepping down from Thunderbird activities
</div>
<hr></div>
<blockquote class=" cite" id="mid_54404C06_3050509_mozilla_com"
cite="mid:54404C06.3050509@mozilla.com" type="cite">Hi all,
<br>
<br>
I've decided that it is time for me to step down from my
Thunderbird activities, and as module owner of Thunderbird.
<br>
<br>
Although Thunderbird is a great email client, and I believe it
fills a gap for which there is no alternative, I've come to
realise that I no longer have the passion nor desire to continue
my activities at the levels I have been. Hence my decision to step
down.
<br>
<br>
At this time, I'm not planning to continue as an active
contributor, but in the short to mid term, I'll still be around
for questions etc.
<br>
<br>
At this time, I have no nominated replacement however, with the
various discussions about the future and the governance
structures, I think this should factor into those - which is why I
wanted to send this before tomorrow's discussions at the work
week.
<br>
<br>
Whilst I'm stepping down, I would like to ensure there's a clean
handover of my activities to other folks in the community - I'm
not immediately stopping everything, but I would like to start
handing over and winding down gradually. I'll be aiming to put out
some more information about some of these next week. I'll still be
around to ask questions, advice etc.
<br>
<br>
Regards
<br>
Mark
