<div>Thank you so much for taking this step. It sounds like you're much happier if you and FSFE go separate ways, and the more different approaches to free software we pursue, the better it will be for all of us in the end. It's a shame when personal differences make you have to go your separate ways, but from a certain size of organization this is hard to avoid and like in a marriage or love relationship it's sometimes just not enough that you want the same thing and at some point you have to realize that it just doesn't work out and separate with a heavy heart to save what you still have.</div>

<div>We should talk again about how FSFE can motivate volunteers in the long run, which Paul already mentioned. Otherwise, I see that we have many offers from FSFE to get involved, and we should all actively use them.</div>
