Hello Guilers,

I’m happy to announce that Mark H. Weaver has now been officially
appointed as Guile co-maintainer by the GNU Project overseers, along
with Andy and myself.

Mark has been doing excellent work on Guile for several years,
tirelessly looking for improvements, fearlessly treading into scary
places like psyntax and I/O ports, so I’m glad to have him officially
on board now.

Welcome, Mark!  :-)

Awesome news!

Mark has helped me understand Guile concepts and improve myself as a
programmer on numerous occasions since I first joined #guile about 2
years ago.  I wouldn't be the avid Guiler that I am today without him.

Congrats, Mark!

I have only been a lurker for a while now, but I've seen how much excellent
work Mark has put into Guile. This is a very well-deserved honor.
Congratulations!

Thank you all for the kind words and warm welcome.  I believe that Guile
is a tremendously important project, not so much because of where it is
today, but because of its future potential and its special role in the
GNU project as a whole.  It's also a lot of fun to work on, not least of
all because of the talented and friendly community of hackers around it.

Although I had a few decades of experience before getting involved here,
I sincerely feel that I've learned a great deal from this community,
both technically and socially.  I'm grateful to Andy and Ludovic for
inviting me into this role of co-maintainer, a role for which both of
them are exceptionally well suited, whereas I still have much to learn.

Anyway, it's been a fun ride, and I think there are exciting times ahead
for Guile.  Thank you all for being a part of that :)

What a lovely email summarizing, at the very least, exactly how I feel
about Guile and its community. Belatedly, congrats on the appointment!

Best wishes,

Alex
