Letting it run out

Note: This is an old post in a blog with a lot of posts over a long span of time. The world has changed, technologies have changed, and I've changed. It's likely this is out of date, the code doesn't work, the ideas haven't aged well, or the ideas were terrible to begin with. Let me know if you think this is something that needs updating.

A couple of years ago I applied and was granted membership into the GNOME Foundation. At the time, I was helping out with GNOME Journal and running GNOME Miro Community.

Since then, GNOME Miro Community fizzled out and stopped because it didn't find a compelling reason to exist (wasn't interesting for marketing, didn't do a good job of indexing conference video, ...). GNOME Journal fizzled too and I stopped working on it.

Also, in September, I left PCF where I was working on Miro which uses a lot of GNOME technologies.

Given that, I decided not to renew my membership. I'm a little bummed, but I'm not doing anything. I do wish them well. I will miss the periodic anti-FSF fireworks.
