<br>
I'm stepping out from my position of member and chair of the GDAL PSC. <br>
Those years in this role have been great and I'm proud what the team has <br>
accomplished and want to thank all the people that have participated and <br>
will make the project still shine. I will only look from a distance but <br>
happy to try helping in case it would be needed.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
<br>
Even<br>
