Hi,
With this issue, I am suspending the publication of the newsletter for an indefinite period of time. I don’t know when I will come back at it. There are some changes in my life and I need to focus on them.

Bonjour,
Avec ce numéro, je suspends la publication du bulletin de nouvelles pour une période de temps indéterminé. Je ne sais pas quand j’y reviendrai. Il y a quelques changements dans ma vie et je dois m’y consacrer.
