Leaving B/TIP

[Windsor Schmidt]

John, and the BTIP lists,

Reluctantly, I'm going to unsubscribe from the BTIP lists. I will be moving away from Berkeley and the Bay Area at the end of the month in order to be near family who live in San Diego, California. I've also not been able to spend enough time contributing to this group as I'd like, and I feel I need to concentrate even more on my studies over the next two years. Thanks to everyone who's put in time and effort here to support a community that believes in free communication, thought, and access to technology. I believe in these values, and I'm sure I will have contact with some of you again because of this.

Thanks,

-Windsor

That sounds like it could be good. :)

&, you, I don't need to tell, you don't have to unsubscribe just cause you move someplace on earth. ;)

That I can definitely relate to. ;) :(

Will you be going to school in SDiego? UCSD? Is there a SD State? CalPol?

Coming from one of the biggest contributors to btip (google groups suggestion, setup, editing, asterisk server, mailing list comments, helping run a meeting i couldn't be at) that's quite a compliment. :) Thanks for your thanks, Windsor. :) & I'll add in a thanks from everyone in the group, to you, too. :)

We all at BTIP owe you a great thanks for all your great work, Windsor. You've been a BIG help! Thanks!!!!! :)

Again, many thanks to you, W, for all your great work & contributions. :)

Let me also mention: One goal for me this year (given my limited time) is to reach out to UC campuses & invite them (via cs groups, etc) to join the BTIP meetings & have local meetings simultaneous at their campuses. Regarding that, i recently joined the KernelPanic mailing list in SDiego. I think I said hi, but didn't get a response, about October. It's on my todo list to get in contact with them via their list, & then also find out if they are interested in helping get UCSD students aware of BTIP & have a local meeting to get students involved.

So, W, if you are spending time there in SD, & can spare some minutes to join the BTIP meetings via voip, maybe you can be the local BTIP ambassador to San Diego. :)
