[Testing] So long and thanks for all the fish

[Mel Chua]

Folks,

I'm psyched to be (re)joining the community as a volunteer once more - 
after all, I've been an employee for 3.8 months and a community member 
for... running over 2 years now. This isn't an ending, just another step 
- and I for one welcome our new overlor^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H I mean, I'm 
looking forward to it.

I'll continue to manage 8.2.1 testing as a volunteer, among other things 
- see the scoop on how QA is moving forward as an all-community entity 
at http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Community_testing_meetings/2009-01-08. I 
may make an appearance around Australia (http://linux.conf.au/) and 
Oceania in general (hello, Welly testers!) and... oh, maybe other 
places. It's a big world out there.

Now - I've got a bunch of embedded/signal 
processing/sociology/engineering-education books that have been calling 
my name for ages... and a piano that I have ignored for years. (Ideas on 
other fun things to do next are welcomed!) Thank you for all your help, 
support, teaching, ideas, tolerance, enthusiasm, critiques, inspiration 
and just plain ol' companionship along this crazy ride. It's been good - 
and will continue to be good. Sweet.

Cheers, then - I'll be seeing you folks around.

PS: Michael, what's a social-life? We don't seem to include that in our 
packages (http://dev.laptop.org/~bert/joyride/2622)...
