Re: [native-lang] Resignation as the Catalan NLC Leader

Hi Jesús,

I should say thank you for your great contribution to this project.
It's been a pleasure meeting you and working with you. I regret to see your
resignation but I fully respect your decision as I will (continue) to 
support
Jordi Mas in his new role.

My sincerest best wishes for the future,

Rafaella
OOo L10n Project Lead
