I posted a somewhat emotional note about hearing about
@tonroosendaalTon Roosendaal ๐ถ's handing of the leadership torch of Blender over on lobste.rs. https://lobste.rs/s/bpk3l6/ton_roosendaal_step_down_as_blender#c_69jzlp
There's a lot more I could say. In many ways ActivityPub would not have happened were it not for my exposure to the Blender community.
As I said in the comment, Ton's fingerprints are all over Blender, which is so much more than just software. I have full confidence in the team that will carry the torch forward but for now: thank you Ton.
