Hi porters-dev, I wish you all the best, porting OpenJDK to lots of platforms is immensely important, but I need to move on. I believe this drops the Members of Porters Group below the three member threshold? + David Herron ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Date: Wed, Aug 10, 2011 at 1:57 PM Subject: Re: How do I resign? To: David Herron I'm sifting through a bunch of historical data to generate a complete census of all OpenJDK participants so that we can put the new Bylaws into place. Shall I treat your message below as a resignation from the Porters and Quality Groups? If so then I'll omit you from the census data.
