It is with a heavy heart that I write this email. I've spent a large part of my engineering career working on the System Security Services Daemon - longer, in fact, than I've worked on any other single project. Furthermore, I've been here since the very beginning, having written some of the first lines of code committed to the git repository.
I've been heavily-involved with the project ever since, designing and implementing the SBUS interface and service monitor code, then later taking on the role of the public face of the project. I pushed for its inclusion into Fedora as the default mechanism for managing centralized user data. I drove it through several Fedora Test Days. I went to conferences and lectured on the advantages that SSSD provides.
I have invested a lot of my professional life into this project, and I'd like to believe that it shows. SSSD today is a successful, growing project that is included in many popular Linux distributions including Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu and Gentoo.
I could not have done this on my own, however. The SSSD development team is comprised of many of the finest engineers that I've ever had the privilege to work with. One such engineer is the magnificent Jakub Hrozek, who has been for the last two years SSSD's most prolific developer and my right-hand man.
So, as I prepare to make my way into other places and other projects, I cannot think of anyone better to take my place as SSSD project lead than Jakub. His Herculean efforts at driving SSSD 1.9.0 into today's feature-complete state have proven to me without a doubt that he is the right person for the job.
I'd like to invite our community to welcome Jakub Hrozek as the new SSSD project lead, and to help him as he finds his feet in this new responsibility. Congratulations, and good luck!

Congratulation to you both Stephen and Jakub!
I look forward to opportunities to work with you again Stephen. Your efforts on SSSD have been largely groundbreaking and game changing for the community.
Jakub, I am happy to see the project is in good hands. I am excited at the prospect of SSSD 1.9 and beyond!
