@johns_FSF It's been a humbling honor to serve this institution, and to work alongside the FSF's staff, members, and volunteers over the years. The current staff deserve your full confidence and support -- they certainly have mine.

[John Sullivan @wjohnsullivan]

After 18 years with the Free Software Foundation, I've decided to resign my position as executive director, effective at the end of a transition period.

[John Sullivan @wjohnsullivan]

@johns_FSF We'll be sharing further details, including information about that transition, and a few more words, in the coming days.

As if I didn't miss @FOSDEM enough, when I opened OsmAnd today, it started me at my hotel from Brussels in 2020.

Nothing like USPS returning a donation from your own family member to your own org in your own org's preprinted envelope as undeliverable. If this happens to you, either re-send, or make the contribution online. We are receiving mail.
