A thank-you to Patrick Lauber
You're probably aware that Patrick Lauber was the original creator of django CMS, and has led its development for many years. He has poured thousands of hours of his time and vast quantities of effort into the project, and it owes a huge deal to him.
Patrick has now left Divio for new adventures, so now seems a good time to thank him formally for his immense contribution. He'll continue to be involved with django CMS, as a member of the core team and also of the newly-formed technical board.
