[sakai-pmc] [DG: Open Forum] AZ job transition

[Anthony Whyte]

For me Aaron's move represents an opportunity to effect a wider diffusion
of Apereo/Sakai culture/values within the marketplace. However much it will
sting to lose Aaron's day-to-day engagement in Sakai, we gain by these
sorts of transactions.  Remember, we don't just produce software.  We also
produce people.

Congrats Aaron and looking forward to working with you in the future.
