Dear Martina, dear all,

I'm really sad. My contribution to the TEI was null this time.
When I applied to the Council in 2016, I made a big miscalculation, thinking that I would have a clean agenda and time to dedicate to the Council, but unexpected things happened that drew my attention away from the TEI.

At the beginning, by the time of the Prague meeting, I was enthused with participating in the Council. It is important to say that the way the Council works now, with so many tickets, GitHub, Jenkins, etc., is very different to how it was back in 2006/2007 when we were dealing with migration from P3/P4 to P5. Tutorship is very important in this respect, to climb up the learning curve much quicker. But I cannot justify my low participation based on this.

You all know by now that family health issues made me cancel many agenda events, starting with the Victoria meeting, and then the Cologne meeting. Attending meetings is vital to at least keep track of the Council whereabouts.
By the time of the TEI conference in Japan I was completely out of everything.

Now I'm in Uruguay, still sorting out family issues.
Maybe in a few months I will return to "normal"... who knows?

You are a very nice group, and I enjoyed the time we shared in Prague.
I want to thank you all for your understanding and cooperation, and particularly to Elli and Elisa who were so kind to keep me connected to the Cologne meeting. My apologies for not contributing as much as expected.

Wish you all the best,
Alex.-

Dear all,
 
as the end of the year draws near, it is time to say goodbye to our leaving Council member Alex Bia.
