Re: New challenge

[Allan Day <allanpday gmail com>]

Hey Karen,

I'd like to join the chorus and thank you for all your hard work over
the past three years. We've been incredibly lucky to have you, and
you've had a hugely positive impact on the project. It's been a
pleasure.

And this isn't goodbye, because I expect to see you in GNOME in the
future, and because I consider us to be friends as well as colleagues.

Allan
