AnneW's world

New Year is traditionally the time when people re-assess their priorities, and all too often have to make decisions that may not be too comfortable.  So it is with CWG members.  Jucato (Juan Carlos de Torres) has struggled for some time to keep up with his commitments, and has finally and reluctantly decided that he must leave the CWG.  Martin Fitzpatrick (mfitzp), too, has found it progressively more difficult to reconcile the demands on his time, and has also decided that he must step down.  We thank both of them for the time they have given, and wish them both every success in their undertakings.  In their place we have two new members, Ingo Malchow and Jeff Mitchell.

Ingo is best known for his involvement in forum.kde.org, but is now heavily involved in all matters kde-www. The up-coming new websites have been taking much of his time recently, and he is also committed to helping advance significant improvements to userbase.kde.org.  Jeff, on the other hand, has most recently been visible in organizing Camp-KDE, where many of you will meet him in a few days’ time.  He is also deeply involved in many aspects of Amarok development and promotion.  Ingo and Jeff are both known to be good, sensitive, discrete listeners – an attribute that we consider to be absolutely essential.  Lydia, Richard and I, the remaining CWG members, are confident that they will be valuable members of the team.

I’ll end by reminding you of our contact details.  Emails can be sent to community-wg@kde.org, and messages to individual members of the CWG are acceptable.  If you use IRC, it could be useful to include your nick in the message, so that we can catch you on-line if necessary.
