Hi folks,

I have to announce that I will have to resign from my seat of co-chair of
the OSGeo.

The main reason for that is the fact being a part of esri Canada, and Open
Source being seen as a competitor, and can't really justify that position
any longer.

The other reason is the fact that I have also a lot  going on with side
projects and life in general and I want to give it more time than I had in
the past few month.

That does mean that I stop my involvement with OSGeo. I plan to remain an
active members as I still firmly believe there are great opportunities and
way of thinking behind OSGeo. But I can't be a leader / public facing
person any more.

I will help Javed as much as needed with admin and organizational work in
the interval for finding a new co-chair until the end of the year 2014. But
I think it would be a good idea to have a new co-chair. I'll leave that up
to a public discussion.

Finally, I want to say that I am being really happy with the successes this
month. We need presence like that. I am also really thankful to Christie
for her demonstration during GIS day, so @Christie, you are being missed
:). Big thanks to all the one that bring idea, especially Regie.

Keep in mind, it is not a good bye. I remain a member of the Chapter. So
you'll still see me around, even in December is schedule allows it.

Cheers,

*Fabien*
