[modeling-pmc] Fred Moving to QNX

[Frederic Plante <fplante@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Team,

Earlier this week, I announced to IBM
my decision to move to another Eclipse member company called QNX.
QNX is an active Eclipse member company since Eclipse's inception; it is
the employer of several CDT
committers, including Doug Schaefer
who leads the project as well as co-leading the Eclipse Tools Project PMC.
Eclipse and CDT are the foundation of QNX's Momentics Development Suite,
an environment to build and optimize applications for the QNX Neutrino
RTOS. In my new role at QNX, I will manage the team responsible for this
awesome development suite.

Given my role at QNX will not involve
any activity related to the development of modeling-related tools or frameworks,
my Eclipse Modeling Project PMC membership will no longer be required nor
will my GMF committer status. I hereby request that my status be updated
to reflect this new reality.

I would like to thank the GMF, EMFT-OQTV
and EMF committers for the great job they accomplished; GMF's tooling is
improving at an impressive speed, GMF's runtime as well as EMFT-OQTV are
getting extremely scalable/stable and EMF keeps attracting new fans daily.
You are quite an amazing set of talented people and I hope our path will
cross again.

Finally, I would like to thank Ed Merks
and Richard Gronback for the awesome work they have accomplished for their
respective projects as well as for building a community around the Eclipse
Modeling Project. It was a great learning experience working with you guys.

    Good luck

        - Fred
