Statement for our January 20th, 2016 General Assembly

Dear Hackuarium members,

I am taking great pride in the following: what was first a vague, frowned-upon by some, yet cool idea when we met with Luc early February 2014 became a vibrant group of people doing cool stuff, and even a real lab in an intriguing place.

It has been an honor, a great pleasure and an insanely crazy way for me to satisfy my passion and to use my skills and experience regarding third-spaces, driving vans on the snow, and bootstrapping communities to help this association getting off the ground. I did my best, fell I did my part, hope I did enough.

As some of you might know, 2015 has been a tough, exhausting ride for me, particularly the end of it. The most coherent conclusion of all of its endeavors, for me, and I hope the best for this community, is my resignation today from my Vice-President and Board Member position.
I still need some time to figure out how to become a better Hackuarium member, so bear with me, you are not done with the bearded, loud, chaotic-good, loving-stickers dwarf yet I guess.

See you all pretty soon, at the lab or at the bar,
With love,

-Y.
