[OSGeo-Conf] resign from CC

[Eli Adam]

Hi Till,

It has been a pleasure working together over the years and you've done great work.  Best wishes on your future endeavors (which look quite fun)!  Any input you have on the list is certainly appreciated.  Drop a line if you're in the Oregon Coast area.

Best regards, Eli

Subject: [OSGeo-Conf] resign from CC

Dear Conference Committee!

As Eli mentioned in his last message - our conference committee is not
very active in the moment and at least and part of it also goes back to me.

Anyway, I was already thinking about resigning for some weeks. An active
and healthy conference committee is important and I know, that I won't
be the person to move CC forward again. Times are changing and after
being an active member of our community for many years, I see that other
interests and tasks are coming more and more to the foreground [1].

As a former chair of the committee, I know how time-consuming it is to
chase after members who do not respond or react ... so I think it is
better to step back and make room for others.

Writing this, I must say: It has been a pleasure to work together with
you all the past years! Also, I really appreciated having the honour to
chair this committee for some years after the Bonn-conference.

I'd appreciate staying on this list (and will moderate the vote for
Oceania, if needed & wanted), but I resign from being an active member
of the conference committee.

I already moved my name in the WIKI to the "past members" section.


See you!

Till
