For over a year now, I quietly stepped down from SustainOSS. I burnt out; I reached the rope's end; insert whatever idiom here. Richard Littauer has done a really great job with the podcast and working groups; I have full faith that he will move the mission forward and look forward to seeing all the progress from the sidelines. My dream was to be able to attend a Sustain event as an attendee, and in time, I believe that will still happen. Thank you all for your support over the years. It was a pleasure to have served! 🫡

I would like to give a special shoutout to Chris Aniszczyk, who has recently been elected as a director. Chris has had a significant impact on my career, starting from the time he ran the OSPO at Twitter to the time when I was launching a CNCF sandbox project. He has been trying to become a director at the OSI for years, and now that he has been elected, I believe that we will have a stronger and better-resourced OSI. Congratulations, Chris!
The work that Thanks.dev is doing is really inspiring. Sourcegraph (my employer) is a proud customer and look forward to grow on their platform.

I might be biased but I agree...
