+title: Ton Voon Resigns as Team Leader
+date: 2011-11-04
+---
+
+Due to personal reasons, I am resigning from being the team leader for the
+Nagios Plugins.<end-of-teaser>
+
+It's almost 7 years to the day since I started as team leader and I've been
+honoured to have had a great team of people that have helped with coding and
+translations and responding to the mailing lists.  I'm particularly proud of
+the Nagios::Plugin perl module, originally created by Gavin Carr, and some of
+the fantastic tests added into the plugins code, started by Nathan Vonnahme.
+Also Benoit Mortier did a great job on setting up the translations framework.
+I also recall, when I first joined the team 9 years ago, racing with Matthew
+Kent to get the most CVS commits!
+
+Other team members that have contributed over my tenure include Peter Bray,
+Sean Finney, Ethan Galstad, Subhendu Ghosh, Stanley Hopcroft, Harper Mann and
+Michael Wirtgen - thanks to all of them for their valuable time to make the
+Nagios Plugins better.
+
+I especially want to thank Thomas Guyot-Sionnest, Matthias Eble and Holger
+Weiss.  Not only have they spent the most hours improving all aspects of this
+project (the gnulib integration is just awesome!), but they've been the best
+guys to work with: thanks for keeping me sane, encouraging me when you think I
+am right and for being honest enough to tell me when I am wrong.  I owe you
+all a big drink next time we meet.
+
+Thanks to all the great community contributions and all the email messages
+that have provoked, inspired and enlightened.
+
+Holger will be taking over the responsibility of team leader in the next
+chapter of the Nagios Plugins.
+
+Regards,  
+Ton
