[LGM-org] LGM Organizational Knowledge (Global and Local)

[Louis Desjardins]

Dear all,

Same for me. I am always available remotely. I sadly missed the last 3 LGMs
and I miss you all a lot. If anything, I will try to be as responsive as I
possibly can. However, you can count me out for any task for the next
months. Please remove my name from the Sponsors' page on the website. I am
busy with family issues and with work. No extra time for me.

Long life to LGM and hope to meet you again maybe next year!

Cheers!

Louis
