+title: Ben Noordhuis's Departure
+date: Tue Dec  3 14:13:57 PST 2013
+slug: bnoordhuis-departure
+
+As of this past weekend, Ben Noordhuis has decided to step away from
+Node.js and libuv, and is no longer acting as a core committer.
+
+Ben has done a tremendous amount of great work in the past. We're sad
+to lose the benefit of his continued hard work and expertise, and
+extremely grateful for what he has added to Node.js and libuv over the
+years.
+
+Many of you already have expressed your opinion regarding recent
+drama, and I'd like to ask that you please respect our wishes to let
+this issue rest, so that we can all focus on the road forward.
+
+Thanks.
