Dear TC6 members,
The end of my second mandate as TC6 chairman is approaching. I am preparing the final report of my chairmanship so that the present status of the Committee activities is updated as well as the pending points. I will send it at the beginning of January at the latest.
At this time let me tell you that it was a honour and a pleasure to be chairman of such a great group during these last six years. I really enjoyed it both from the personal and professional point of view. I hope also that I could help with some contributions for the running of TC6.
I would like to thank the great help that I got from all of you during this period and, in particular, let me thank the TC6 vice-chairman, Harry Rudin, the TC6 web master, Herbert Leitold and the IFIP Secretariat, Dorothy Hayden, Brigitte Brauneis and Plamen Nedkov, for the almost daily support that sometimes they gave me.
I look forward to the continuation of my activity in TC6, now under the leadership of Otto Spaniol, to whom I wish the best successes.
A nice Christmas to all of you
Augusto Casaca
