Thanks, and you're right - it's humbling and inspiring to see the
consistency of execution everyone in the company is showing right now.
20.04 is going to be an amazing release.

It was prescient to establish Canonical as a remote oriented company.
In this time of so much change, many companies are needing the same
capability right now, and it's wonderful to be part of a company that is
able to provide that expertise, and in this way help the world.

Thank you Mark, for leading us in this time of trouble, and ensuring we
have such a great place to work.
