I really appreciate the thanks.  It hasn't always been easy, but it has
been fun.  I started using FreeBSD back when 2.1 was released, and it
was always my dream to be a committer.  Honestly, I didn't think I would
be the GNOME guy, but the challenge, and the reward is worth it. 

All the loyal FreeBSD GNOME users that have contributed patches this
past year as well as the other team members, Adam and Maxim, deserve
credit, too.  While I've been quite active this past year, without the
work of the other team members, the alumni, and users, we wouldn't be
where we are today.

Here's to another great year.  Cheers.

Joe
