Hello All,

Events and changes, more or less recent, both organisational and
technical, have made me reconsider whether I should continue
contributing, interacting with the community, and being a maintainer.

I've thought about it quite a bit, for quite some time now, and I
see now that merely asking the question begs only one possible
answer: no.

As a consequence, I have resigned from my position as a maintainer. The
other maintainers have been informed of my decision a few days ago now.

As for contributing, I don't see how the time I will regain from no
longer being a maintainer, could be applied to bring in evolutions to
Buildroot given the circumstances.

For the time being, I have no idea what will replace the many hours
a week I was spending on Buildroot on my own time; maybe a future
personal project will require that I use Buildroot again, but until
then, I will no longer be an active contributor either.

I will still keep my entries in the DEVELOPERS file for a while, so that
I can at least try and help fix the mess I leave behind me.

I am grateful to all the contributors, past and present, for the many
years we've been all together working toward making Buildroot better,
and building a great community; I've learned a lot along the ride.
I wish you all the best with your continued use of Buildroot and your
future contributions!

Peter, Thomas, Arnout, Romain: I wish you all the best in your future
endeavours with Buildroot maintenance.

So long, and thanks for all the fish.

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.

P.S. To avoid any future confusion: this is my own personal position and
decision, and has no connection to my professional activities that may
be related to Buildroot.
