Hi all,

If I recall correctly I submitted my first patch to gfortran in 2005.

So I have had about a 13 year run on this endeavor. I have no regrets at
all of course, but there comes a time when one recognizes when it is
time to let go and let others continue on.

I very much enjoyed working with everyone all these years.

I want to especially thank those who have helped me to learn new things
and resolve issues as they popped up. I may occasionally be able to
review a patch here and there if it makes sense to me to do so and I
will keep this list on my active status. I will not be monitoring the
bug list or patches lists directly any more. Feel free to cc me if you
think I may know something about a problem.

Once again, thanks to all!

Best regards,

Jerry

Sad to see you leave, though I never had the opportunity to meet you in
person. Anyway, thank you for all you work over the years!

Hi Jerry,

This is sad news. I sincerely hope that it is false news; very false....

If not, then I can only echo the thanks from the others and wish you
well with whatever you are going to do now.

Regards

Paul
