I am sorry to hear the news. I have worked with some you on various
OpenStack tasks and am impressed by your dedication, willingness to help,
and hard work. I'd also like to thank all of you for the time you've put
into the documentation and hope that you find another opportunity soon.
Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help.

Shilla
