Leaving the freecad-project

Because of private issues, I will step back from all my freecad activities. Mainly this are the conda-packaging efforts. Maybe someone else will find the time to maintain the feedstocks.

I wish everyone luck for the future. Good bye.

Sad to hear that, I hope your issues are not too serious.
Thank you very much for all your effort in this project since years and years.
I really hope we will see you again here. We will miss you, wish you the best looo.

Thanks for informing us, it was great to have had you here. You did a tremendous job and eased the installation for many of us.

Thanks and all the best!

Hoping to see you here soon.

I wish you the best.

Thanks @looo for all your effort, wishing you all the best in your life and endeavours.

Due to your had work a lot of people use conda for FreeCAD, could be quite a vacuum with you going, but hopefully
somebody will step up.

I’m saddened to here this :frowning:
Thank you for all your contributions to FreeCAD, Conda, and for all the help you’ve given me personally.
Your work eased the transition from PY2 to PY3. Hopfully some of your ideas about new style modules will continue to take hold.

I wish you great health and the best of luck in your future endeavors! You will be missed.

Wow, thanks for all you’ve done @looo!
This is quite sudden. Hope it works out for you.
Wish you the best!
Please visit back when you can.

Thank you for your work!

Good luck for the future!

Thank you for all.
Wish you the best!

You too.
I hope you can find a way to come back.

Auf Wiedersehen

I also want to thank you, your code on pivy helped me a lot.
Best wishes for your life and I really hope to see you here around again!

See you around @looo ! Thanks for the hard work, don’t stay too far! :wink:

How about the glider wb? Do you continue with this, or do you stop FreeCAD dev at all?

Hi @looo

Hopefully you are in general alright and just a bit stressed out and need a break from FreeCAD. My best wishes go to you and hopefully someday our paths will meet again. It has been a privilege to work with you and you have shown some real leadership. Without you on board i feel that whatever comes next will likely be less that what was before. At least in foreseeable future. During all this years i have experience some highs and some lows, when involved in FreeCAD packaging efforts. Working with you i don’t remember any lows. All in all people were able to click on a button on a FreeCAD download page and download a binary for all supported platforms. All having the same up to date set of dependencies included and a wealth of them. Over time likely new people will step up, offer new distribution channels. I personally don’t plan to work in this area anymore.

P.S. Over the weekend i will shut down the Travis build instance. Likely with a PR, as sometimes i have access to the repository settings and sometimes not. Mainly to preserve the existing binaries and not to rebuild and reupload them daily anymore.

Sad news. It was a pleasure working with you. Best of luck.

Thanks, guys for all the kind words. It was a pleasure to work with you.

Sometimes when you try to reach a mountain and you can’t find the logical next step there is only one logical step and that one is going backward. Trying a totally different way from the bottom might help to reach that mountain or at least see the mountain you want to climb.

I just discovered this thread with sadness.
Thank you for your involvement and your kindness in your responses.
Good luck and I look forward to seeing you again.

Very sad to hear about you leaving the project. Thanks for all your work in the last couple of years.

I wish you all the best!

Thank you for your tireless efforts. I hope we’ll hear from you again. Take care “Gear Man”.
