[$] A farewell to LWN

Back at the beginning of 2020, it was predicted that retirements would increaseduring this decade. In 2021, the predictionwas that retirements would increase over the next couple of years. It ishappening and LWN is no exception. I am retiring at the end of this yearafter more than 20 years with LWN.

So who am I and how did I get here? To some, I'm a name at the bottom ofsome LWN page. To a few, I'm the one that reminds them when their LWN groupsubscription is about to expire. You might have even met me at aconference. Not that I have been to very many. Mostly I tend to be quietlyin the background watching the LWN mailbox, looking for brief items andquotes of the week (sorry I haven't found much lately), proofreadingarticles, managing subscriptions, and more. But I'm older than most of youand this is my last LWN weekly edition. Getting here is a bit of story.
