I'm forking Ladybird and stepping down as SerenityOS BDFL

UPDATE JUNE 04, 2024

In 2018, I created the SerenityOS project after completing a drug rehab program. I needed something to soak up my free time while learning to live a normal life, and it turned out that building a new operating system was a task of just the right proportions.

After six months of working on it by myself, I posted it online, and invited others to participate.

Since then, SerenityOS has grown into a large OSS community with over one thousand contributors all over the world. We've built a friendly culture of setting differences aside and focusing on our shared love for programming. Countless people have poured their heart and soul into it, and I like to think it's inspired some to attempt more challenging things in life.
