<pre class="k9mail"><div dir="auto">Hey hey!<br><br>We are pleased to announce that Dan Williams (dan@ioncontrol.co) will be taking over as the primary maintainer for libqrtr-glib, libqmi, libmbim, and ModemManager.<br><br>From now on, new stable libqrtr-glib, libqmi, libmbim and ModemManager versions will be released by him. The tags in git will be signed with his key, and can be verified (git tag --verify <tag>) after having imported his public key (from <a href="https://www.freedesktop.org/software/ModemManager/0x734614319E26A433.asc">https://www.freedesktop.org/software/ModemManager/0x734614319E26A433.asc</a> or after synchronizing with the openpgp keyserver).<br><br>Dan is not unknown to the projects, quite the opposite! 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...<br><br>Dan currently works as a freelancer through Ion Control (<a href="http://ioncontrol.co">http://ioncontrol.co</a>). This enables him to offer custom integration and troubleshooting services for these projects. 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.<br><br>In recent months, I haven't been able to dedicate as much time as needed to maintainership tasks. I care a lot about these projects, and I think that a step back from me could mean many steps forward for them. I believe Dan's leadership and new energy will propel these projects forward.<br><br>Cheers!<br><br></div></pre></blockquote></div></body></html>
