Hi all, after more or less 100 Tech Reports, this is my last as Lead Writer (at least for a while) due to real life time commitments. This won't come as news to many of you (I've already missed quite a few weeks in the last couple of months) but I thought I should mention it as it may mean that there are no Tech Reports for a bit. I hope that isn't the case – some people have spoken to me about contributing already – but there is a pressing need for a lead writer to coordinate those contributions, if nothing else; please do shout if you think you could fill that role. In any case, with the creation of Tech News it's probably time for a reassessment of the Tech Report as an independent source of technology news anyway (and whether we can really be bothered, given the ~4 hours a week time requirement), which I leave you to ponder. All the best, - Jarry1250 ^{[Vacation needed]} 10:56, 19 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Jarry, let me be the first to wish you the best with your real life obligations. :-) Ed ^{[talk] [majestic titan]} 21:14, 20 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to see you go, Jarry. I hope you'll be back. Thanks very much for your dedication and the many long hours you've spent helping to keep us Signpost readers updated on the latest tech happenings. Your work has been appreciated by many, many readers. Best. 64.40.54.119 (talk) 05:03, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Jarry! I always enjoyed reading this section. Just a note about this one: While the title is about VisualEditor being set for rollout early July, the report itself does not mention nor details that information. Cheers! Nicolas1981 (talk) 05:05, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your work Jarry. I'm putting a well earned Signpost barnstar on your talk page. --Pine^✉ 06:29, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Jarry, your excellent work on the Signpost's Tech report is what prompted us to create Tech News, because we wanted to spread technical updates to a wider and multilingual audience. I hope you'll be able to join us and help write Tech News; your talents and experience with the Tech Report would be much welcome, and it would require much less of your time. guillom 08:34, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the great work on the tech reports. Honestly it was one of the main reasons I read the signpost. Bawolff (talk) 17:50, 24 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
