I just hope that #ubuntu-nl can cope with

<Seveas> !ops
<Seveas> !ops
<Seveas> !ops
<Seveas> !ops

On a more serious note. I'm sad to see you step down, you've been the
sturdy rock of the IRC team for the past 2 years. but I'm glad that your
wiseness will still be around to sheperd us in the right direction. IRC
Council or not, I'm sure a lot of people will still see you as a leader
amongst the IRC team. I know I will.

But, as you said, all good things come to an end, and I think that for
you, this is a wise decision, as you well know that Jono had a round
table at UDS regarding the community, and the subject of "burnout" came
up, every example I could relate to you.

Take a good long break, you've earned it. And hey, it's 2 years (?)
before you can be nominated again!
