Hi Steve, I’m sad to learn that you are resigning from the StarlingX TSC and will not be able to participate in the community onwards. I would like to use this opportunity to say thank you for everything that you have done for the project! You’ve been an integral part of the community, and I especially appreciated all your efforts in the area of community building. I will miss having you around. I wish you all the best that life can bring you! Best Regards, Ildikó ——— Ildikó Váncsa Director of Community Open Infrastructure Foundation

StarlingX Community,

In a mid-May TSC/Community meeting I said that I’d be away the rest of May and a little into June to enjoy two of my my children’s college graduations and to help launch them into their next phase of life. It is now past June even and I haven’t returned to TSC or community participation.

During my time away, I celebrated life’s joys in the graduations and the associated family gatherings, narrowly avoided a family tragedy, and spent quality time helping my aging parents. Much life has happened - I guess it's true that "life happens while we are making plans". I have decided to make room in my life so that life can happen. To make room, I am resigning my role on the TSC and won’t be actively participating in the community.

The project has come a long way and, while many challenges remain, I know you will prevail. I may not be actively involved but I look forward to seeing all of your future successes. Thanks to all of you for all your partnership and comradery.
