Availability of Oliver Gondža in late 2020 and onward

[Oliver Gondža]

Hey Folks, After all those years with the project doing my best here and
there (Release and LTS officer, reviewer and maintainer of a number of
components), I have chosen to step back a bit. Partially as my focus is
shifting away slowly, but mostly to direct my attention to my family and
the twins expected to be born in a couple of weeks.

Because of that:

- I will not be a candidate for a Release officer nor a Board member
this year.
- I will no longer maintain jenkinsci/acceptance-test-harness.
- The responsibility for leading LTS will be gradually transferred to
some community member interested.

I have truly enjoyed those 8 years in a company of so many talented and
engaged engineers. It is not that I am leaving never to show up again,
but this housekeeping is long overdue, and I owe doing this to the
project and to myself.

Thanks!

Thanks so much for your contributions to the Jenkins project as release officer and as leader and maintainer of the Jenkins acceptance test harness.  Your work has been such a help to Jenkins users around the world.

All the best with the impending birth of twins.  What an exciting addition to your family!  Children teach us so many things and twins seem to teach us even faster.  Truly best wishes for you and your family with the exciting new additions.

All the best with your new responsibilities as a father of twins Oliver.I am sure you will do great, I have not worked a lot with you but it has been always a pleasure when I have done it.

Enjoy!

Thanks for all the help! Have fun with the new babies! I'm sure they
require more maintenance than our infra ;)

Congratulations Oliver and, as per the phrase, thanks for all the fish ;).

Thanks a lot for your great contribution to the Jenkins Project. As a father of 3 myself, without twins however, I certainly see your choice as a wise one and can imagine what's in front of you for upcoming times.

Time to create the jenkinsci-parenting SiG and mailing list, it seems 😉.

Cheers

Oliver,
I first and foremost want to say congratulations on the upcoming additions to the family. This really is a joyous time and I am sooooo happy for you.
Next, I want to thank you for all that you have done over the years as well as for your mentorship. This project would not be where it is without you.
If there is anything I can take on to help the transition, please do not hesitate to call on me.

[Victor Martinez]

Congrats Oliver for the awesome news. Thanks for all the work you have done for the Jenkins project, that's quite impressive, again thanks! <3

Hi Oliver,

Thanks for all contributions you did to the project. You are totally right to step back.

The adventure you are going to live is way more important and enjoyable if you free yourself from less important distractions.

I wish all the best to you and your second half.

Cheers
