i'm not dead yet

[Max Spevack]

Pascal emailed me last week offering to take some leadership, so I think 
the idea of letting Pascal and Huzaifa work together to figure out how 
to put their own leadership stamp on FWN would be a great thing.

I'm happy to continue with the "announcements" beat, and if necessary, 
I'd also be willing to take the Marketing beat off Pascal's hands.

Thank you all for your help, and for volunteering your time to Fedora 
Weekly News, which really is a very, very important piece of our 
community.
