I am not sure if this news has spread through the CFML community, but a couple of weeks ago I stepped down from the OpenBD steering committee.

Rather than going into all the details here I am just going to post my resignation letter that hopefully explains my reasons behind it.

Dear Gentlemen

I have realised that since joining as a member of the steering
committee I have contributed bugger all.

This should not come as a shock to people that know me, since I am a
lazy bugger but I think its inappropriate for me to take up space on
the committee that could be assigned to someone more intelligent and
vocal to contribute.

I have a number of projects (outside my 9-6 day job) that I need to
concentrate on, some that you know and some that you will hopefully
know soon enough but this leaves me little time left to give OSBD the
attention I would like to give the project.

Rather than sit around like a silent lurker on the list I am going to
make space for a better (not handsomer) person to take my place.

Of course, I shall keep on lurking in the background... and probably
looking at the code going "aint that clever.. yessum!" and wishing the
project the total success it needs!

Finally I would like to thank you for having though of me highly
enough to invite me in the first place! And sorry that I couldn't make
a bigger contribution
