Morten Linderud Resigns from Arch Linux Development Team After Nine Years

Morten Linderud resigning from Arch Linux development team

I am stepping down as a package maintainer and developer for Arch Linux after nearly a decade of service. My journey began at 33C3 when I joined the security team, and I have since maintained critical packages like mkinitcpio and arch-install-scripts. I have identified several orphaned packages and those needing co-maintainers to ensure the project's continued stability. I am grateful for the friendships formed during this time and am ready to let go.

It's been almost a decade since I met Jelle, Chris, Levente and Remi at 33C3 to be (peacefully) coerced into joining the security team, and almost 9 years since I became a package maintainer.

    Oh this is hard to read. Foxboron was a massively positive force for Arch Linux and the Linux ecosystem in general! I discovered his ssh-tpm-agent https://github.com/Foxboron/ssh-tpm-agent a few months ago and it is really nice!

    Amazing work over the years!
