hey<br>
<br>
so, just a quickie. i wanted to mention on the list that i am thinking<br>
about moving on from FM. I feel FM is pretty much ready to stand on its<br>
own feet without me and actually I feel there is possibly a point when<br>
its better for an org to untether from the founder. Also good for the<br>
founder before i get a case of founderitis (its a common and documented<br>
problem for not-for-profit orgs).<br>
<br>
My timing will be between 6 months to 18 months depending on a few<br>
things that may or may not eventuate.<br>
<br>
Anyways, plenty of time to raise my hand to say its on the radar and for<br>
us to make some preparations for this. I have already sort of made some<br>
preparations if you want to see it that way - most of the admin tools<br>
are now in 'your' hands and John is very well versed in most things to<br>
help anyone that is a little lost. There are a few bigger picture issues<br>
that we would need to pin down. I have always been absolutely against<br>
policies (rules deter participation) and I have strong positions on<br>
licensing (hate it and think the discussion have no place 'in FM - big<br>
time waster) and openness (love it - FM must continue to be as open as<br>
possible). I would like to feel that I parted with those intact and an<br>
org able to carry those values on.<br>
<br>
Also, I would be available for Book Sprint facilitation and some other<br>
stuff. But mainly I want to see FM 'handed on' to new blood and in a way<br>
that means the future will continue to get bright for FM and its role in<br>
pushing forward the ever expanding scope of free documentation for free<br>
software...<br>
<br>
On that thought I think how things should work sans-adam should be a<br>
topic for the forthcoming fm meet in germany.<br>
