Hi,

Since I've been out of the KDE scene for a while and haven't run it myself either, I'm taking myself off of the packages for those that I am a co-maintainer for (thanks to Jens Petersen for scripting it so I wasn't making even more mails with lots of checkbox clicking). For those that I am the primary maintainer for, I offer maintainership here first. Here are the packages I own:

bilbo (should probably just be orphaned across the board since kdepim has it now) qca2 (comaintainers CC'd) krazy2 krename kdevplatform (comaintainers CC'd) kde-plasma-networkmanagement

I learned lots of packaging tips and pitfalls to avoid from my work with the SIG and am grateful for it, but I've been using XMonad and other things of late and it doesn't appear as though I'll be returning to KDE as a user. It's great technology, I love it, and I recommend it to those who know their way around Linux or are looking into programming an application (KDE's libraries are still among the nicest I've seen around, and certainly top for GUI applications). Unfortunately, getting things to work as I've gotten my machines to run is probably still outside its scope.

I'll probably still pop in the IRC now and then to help friends if they need it and I can't poke it into working. Hope to meet up with those of you who are going to be at FUDCon Tempe and at future conferences (hopefully I'll make it over to Europe one of these days).
