1. Ryan's last week as Sheriff!

As you might have heard that RyanVM is leaving the Sheriff Team to he will
be leading a new quality team as part of the Firefox org. So its his last
week as Sheriff this week.
Thanks for all what do you did for keeping the Trees open and making the
Sheriff-Role and Sheriffing what it is today and all the best for your new
Role Ryan!

Also of course there will be other Sheriffs around if you have questions
let us know anytime (see the contact section below).

Ryan - You were really excellent in the sheriff role. A great partner for
release management and a strong defender or the tree. I'm thrilled that
you've found a new way to help the Mozilla project. Congratulations on your
new role!
