 Hi nickrud!

This seems as good a time and place to formally relinquish my operator
status. I kept thinking that I'd be returning to the channel regularly
again, once 'X' was done, but then there was 'Y', and 'Z', and now I'm
back at 'A'. I always wondered about nicks on that operator list I
remembered from the past but never saw any more, and never thought I'd
be one of them. I've turned into one, despite my best intentions.

Another reason to do this formally, now, is because the core operators
are (once again) trying to get a grip on the behemoth ubuntu irc has
become over the last 5 years. Some, not me, may think that 51 operators
(about to be 50, when I drop my ubuntu-irc launchpad membership in a few
minutes) will be able to handle it, but having an inaccurate count of
actual, active irc ops there is certainly not going to help in any kind
of planning. So, my final, itsy bitsy bit to help out :)

I do miss the fun and camaraderie of #ubuntu-ops at it's best and wish
you all a successful reorganization. I'll drop into #ubuntu every now
and then for fun, but when? Who knows.



 Many thanks for taking care of the Ubuntu IRC community for so long!
Looking forward to seeing you on #ubuntu-* channels, at least the -offtopic
lounge at lazy times :)

If all goes well, in the near future inactive operators need not become
active and explicitly resign. Operator team memberships will expire in one
year and be self-renewable. Inactivity will be enough for resignation, as
stated in the pending operator requirements document draft that Jussi wrote
about earlier: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/IrcTeam/OperatorRequirements

Thanks again for allocating so much time for Ubuntu!
