<br>
I would like to take this opportunity to announce that with this mail, I<br>
retire from my core team position. In addition, I will take an<br>
indefinite break on any work on ScummVM. I might be back in the future,<br>
I might not.<br>
<br>
I only want to briefly talk about my reasons to leave. In the recent<br>
past, I found that ScummVM has become a burden to me. I don't get the<br>
same joy from working on ScummVM as I used to. As many of you know I<br>
considered retiring many times before. But this time there is a major<br>
factor which I realized only recently: I am far too emotionally involved<br>
in ScummVM. I feel too much responsibility for too many pieces of<br>
ScummVM to the point where it drags me down so much that I lose any<br>
motivation to work on it. This has passed the point where it is healthy<br>
and I need to let go. Sadly the only way I can manage to achieve this is<br>
by saying goodbye.<br>
<br>
I want to thank every one of you for your great work on this awesome<br>
project. It has been a wild ride and so much fun for the most of it. But<br>
there is a time to say goodbye before you taint your memory of it.<br>
<br>
I considered to be more elaborate on my feelings and reasons to leave,<br>
but instead I would like to point back to Max's retirement mail from<br>
22.06.2011. I find myself in the same situation as Max described for too<br>
many points he made. I think his mail is still an excellent starting<br>
point for improving the project. There are a lot of points where ScummVM<br>
made progress. But ScummVM can be even better if everyone involved can<br>
take a step back and think on how it can be improved in these aspects. I<br>
hope ScummVM lives long and prospers.<br>
<br>
Good luck guys. I hope everyone will have the same fun with the project<br>
as I had.<br>
<br>
// Johannes<br>
<br>
PS: I will unsubscribe from this mailing list after I sent this mail. I<br>
will be still reachable via mail, if anybody wants to talk. But I would<br>
kindly ask you not to start a conversation about ScummVM work or trying<br>
to change my mind. Thank you in advance.<br>
