Saw this via Facebook on the Exiv2 channel, posted by Robin Mills:<br>
<br>
"I am retiring from Exiv2 at the end of this week (30 September 2017). I<br>
announced last year that I would retire at the end of 2017. Alison and I will<br>
set off on Friday on a 9 week journey to visit friends and attend 2 weddings<br>
along the way. It will be December when we return home. When travelling, I’m<br>
unable to do “heavy” development tasks, so whether I retire now or Christmas<br>
is effectively the same.<br>
I will be available for consultation by email over the next few months,<br>
however I will not be dealing with the Forum or Issues reported on GitHub or<br>
Redmine.<br>
It’s been an amazing adventure to be involved with Exiv2 and there are several<br>
folks to be thanked. Andreas, Niels, Ben, Luis, Alan, Michal and Thomas B<br>
instantly spring to mind. The Students from Google Summer of Code and numerous<br>
users with whom I’ve had enjoyable conversations. Alison and I were invited to<br>
a couple of weddings!<br>
So 10 years of contributions and 10,000 hours of effort come to an end. I hope<br>
that someone will carry Exiv2 into the future and I assure them of my support<br>
if they require mentoring, or any other help I can provide."<br>
