Thanks for all the work over the years! And I'm sure Dan will take good care of these projects!

Kind regards,

Dan was the single NetworkManager and ModemManager maintainer when I I joined the project more than a decade ago, before the separate project libraries existed. He wrote the original MM 1.0 DBus API and I happened to be one of the reviewers in the mailing list...

This type of engagements allowed me to keep on maintaining the projects when I was a freelancer, so I totally suggest every company interested to try it.
