Thanks Lou! The feeling is mutual. I am honestly not sure what we'll do
without you, and I'm very grateful you'll still be keeping an eye on things
:-).

As I am absenting myself from Council at the end of the month, I take this opportunity to echo Hugh's remarks on the pleasure it has been to work with all of you, and your predecessors, over the last umpteen centuries. I wouldn't want you to get big headed about it, but the TEI Technical Council has always been not just a nice bunch of crazy people but also one of the most satisfying and productive work environments I've ever experienced. I'll miss it, but I think it's time for me to make space for others. And I expect to be hovering around keeping an eye on you from the sidelines for quite a while yet, assuming I get through the crowded holiday season ahead...

Hi All,
Several items of business now that release 3.1.0 is done:
We need to decide on meeting dates/times for the coming year. Is the last Thursday of the month at 09:00 eastern USA / 14:00 UK / 15:00 Central Europe ok with everyone? Or do we need to find another time to fit everyone's schedules? I'd like to sort this out soon so that we can get our schedules nailed down. Silence means you're happy with the status quo and waive any right to complain later :-).
The last Thursday in December is the 29th, and I hope everyone will be on holiday at that point, so I think we should skip December. Any objections/cries of dismay?
A reminder that our next face-to-face meeting is coming up in February in Prague. We will meet at Charles University, from the 5th–7th, with a symposium/meeting on the 8th with local TEI folks. XML Prague starts on the 9th, and you may wish to stay for that. Book your travel! I know not everyone will be able to stay for the local meeting, but I hope most of you will. It should be fun, and will be a nice opportunity for some TEI evangelism.
Nobody at all said they wanted to run for Chair, so I guess it's me again, which is fine. But I would *strongly* encourage you to consider running next year if you've any interest at all.
Finally, I want to thank everyone for their work this year. The release yesterday was very smooth, which I hope means we've ironed out a lot of the kinks that came with the transition over to GitHub. It has been a pleasure working with you all!
All the best, Hugh
