The community is now much more welcoming, and I think that working on Neutron is now much easier. We've grown to be a very positive and constructive community and that's not always been the case. I distinctly remember many conversations with a wide range of people about this exact topic over the last year and a half, all praising the changes you've been leading. Kudos.</div><div><br>On 11 בספט׳ 2015, at 17:13, Kyle Mestery <<a href="mailto:mestery@mestery.com">mestery@mestery.com</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>I'm writing to let everyone know that I do not plan to run for Neutron PTL for a fourth cycle.
