Hi all,

First of all I'd like to thank Mike for all the great work he's done
on the Zend Framework.
When Mike started, the Zend Framework was just an idea, and over the
past few months he really did a great job in realizing this idea and
setting high quality standards for the rest of the team and contributors.

We are fortunate that even though Mike is leaving Zend that he'll
continue to participate as much as he can on the framework project.

I wish Mike the best of luck on his new opportunities!

Andi
