Re: [BOARD] Patrick Heim has joined the Editorial Board

[Patrick Heim <Patrick.Heim@HIVERWORLD.COM>]

Thank you for the kind introduction Steven.  I look forward to actively
participating on the board by contributing to the voting process. Tom
and I will be splitting responsibilities where I will retain a focus on
Win* and Tom will focus on *nix.  This will benefit the CVE by allowing
us to focus on our respective areas of specialization.

Cheers,

Patrick
