When asked why, he said that: + +> With the birth of our kids my focus how to spend my off-work time clearly moved towards family life and thus I gradually stopped contributing and I lost track of what’s happening in the project. +> +> The Roundcube project deserves a better and a more committed lead and therefore it‘s time for me to step back and let go. + +This is something many out there can relate to, it is good to see that Thomas handed his precious project over to someone who can keep it going. + +I must say, **I was surprised to hear about this** , having used Roundcube as my webmail of choice at workplace, I have seen how it has evolved since 2018. + +I am glad that this project is getting the attention and care it deserves. + +Furthermore, I suggest you go through the [official blog][6], and the interview linked there, for more insights on this merge. + +_💬 What do you think?
