Hey Og,

We know that you gave a most valuable contribution to Ubuntu/GNOME, and
particularly to Brazilian Portuguese translations.

Now if the team leader thinks he doesn't need further help to accomplish
his duty, we should respect this. SVN access should not be considered as
a reward for good work. It's given when there is a real need to fulfil.
And we cannot judge about this, only the current coordinator is able to
estimate this.
Guilherme knows that you're ready to take more responsibilities as soon
as it's needed.

I hope you'll understand this, and I'm sure your contributions will
always be much appreciated in the FOSS community. Keep the good work!

Claude
