With the start of 2026 I will officially step down as chairman/CEO and move to a supervisory role. I wish Francesco and the new board members - Sergey, Dalai, Fiona - a lot of wisdom and success. I hope to enjoy more free time, but also look forward playing a humble role in shaping our free software for the next decade. Happy new year!
