<p class="MsoNormal">It is with mixed feelings that I send this note telling you my time in chairing (co-chairing) the App Ecosystem group has come to an end. Recent organizational changes have placed me in a new position that are not aligned with the same
efforts as before. The good news is after receiving a strong nomination and enthusiastic reply, I would like to introduce Michael Krotscheck as my replacement. His background as a Java developer who is interested in moving the App Ecosystem work forward
should be a welcome addition to the team. He has already met Flanders and has been a Stacker for some time.

<p class="MsoNormal">I plan to introduce Michael on our regularly scheduled IRC meeting on Monday but realized this was more inclusive for some who will not be in attendance. Please welcome Michael as my replacement.<u></u><u></u></p>
