Standing down from the technical board

[Matthew Garrett]

Hi there,

As most of you probably know, I've been the community representative on 
the Ubuntu technical board since 2005. During that time I've seen Ubuntu 
grow in ways I could never have imagined, and I'm proud to have been a 
part of the technical process that helped make this happen.

However, as some of you possibly know, I've recently agreed to take a 
position with Red Hat. While I don't see this as being incompatible with 
being part of the Ubuntu community (and I certainly don't want to set a 
precedent!), this is likely to reduce the amount of time I have to be 
involved in Ubuntu. Without being an active member of the Ubuntu 
community, it's difficult for me to claim to represent it - and so, as a 
result, I will be standing down from the technical board in order to 
allow the election of a new community member.

Thanks again to everyone for having made the Ubuntu community such a 
wonderful place to work!
