Dear Ubuntu Community,
Having the privilege of working with so many talented individuals from around the world has been such a blast. It is astonishing what you’ve been able to achieve just driven by the mission of bringing free software to the widest audience. You’ve self-organized large scale conferences and other impactful programs, built opportunities for beginners and enthusiasts to find joy and learn something new, or simply took a small step to make Ubuntu a little bit better.
It has been an honor to be part of this journey with you, but it is time for me to set the sails and head on towards a next adventure. Therefore, I am leaving Canonical at the end of May. Thank you for the memories, the challenges, and the victories.
I hope to see many of you again at open source conferences such as FOSDEM. @ilvipero and @aaronprisk have been helping you with so many other things in the community, please reach out to one of them if you would normally have reached out to me.
Please continue to be as awesome as you are!
Philipp

It was always so wonderful working with you! And then so much fun once we were at events and seeing them unfold. Thank you for all your experience, thoughtfully planning and achieving what is a fantastic new period of activity for the Ubuntu community! You’ve been pivotal for this new era.
I wish you all the best for the days and years to come. I’ll be jealous of your next opportunity, because they will have an amazing teammate who will do great things!
