Farewell
FarewellIt's time for formal acknowledgement that I'm not in The Project any more.
I'm not interested in small features/fixes and have no time for big ones.
It was this way for very long time and I don't see how/when that could change.
My participation in The Project was one of the greatest adventures in my life.
Thanks to everyone!
Good luck on your ways.
And - long live to Postgres!!!

I know that a lot of what makes PostgreSQL what it is today is can be directly
atttributed to your work. Thank you. And thank you for the personal help
back when I was working on the PostgreSQL trigger documentation.

It's hard to imagine PostgreSQL with out MVCC, WAL, subselects, etc.
You know, maybe on the Developer's page there should be a "PostgreSQL
Hall of Fame" with Vadim and Thomas Lockhart being the first two
inductees.

If you had not been here in the PostgreSQL community, I might
not have been here. Thank you and good luck to you.

I never know what to say in response to stuff like this ... its like
having to sign a card when a co-worker leaves ... then again, unlike most
co-workesr, I can definitely say its been a great pleasure to have known,
and worked, with you ... you brought, and gave, alot to the project, and
for that, we thank you ... thanks :)

Seriously though, good luck, Vadim, in all your future ventures. Your
work on PostgreSQL has most certainly been of great benefit to all of us
- I cannot speak for others, but I certainly appreciate your efforts.
Regards, Dave.

I can't say it any better than Newton did:

of giants", Issac Newton
thanks Vadim,

Just a "me too" ... we'll all miss you. Thanks so much for all the work
you have put into Postgres. And best of luck in your future activities.

Vadim,
FarewellIt's time for formal acknowledgement that I'm not in The Project
any more.
Bye! Aside from one meeting in 2001, I know you only from your work. But
that's a very lasting impression ... even should you never come back to us, I
think people will still be seeing your name in the code for many years to
come.
Are you moving on to anything else in Open Source?

I think we are going to have a "Retired Core Developers" section on the
web page, and we will put Vadim and Thomas in there.
