Subject: New Cygwin/X and Xming maintainer wanted

Hi all,

I've signed a working contract with StarNet a few days
ago and will not be able to continue working on and maintaining 
Cygwin/X and Xming.

I hope there are users of Cygwin/X who will continue
maintaining the cygwin
packages and provide fixes and enhancements for the
projects. So if you
want to continue the work, please email me.

I've worked on Cygwin/X for 4 years now. It was an
interesting task and I've gained much experience. 
Getting the opportunity to turn my hobby into
professional work is a rare chance I don't want to
miss.

It was nice time working with you.

bye
