This isn't really about Subversion development, but I hope
the list
won't mind a brief personal statement.
Today is my last day at CollabNet. In December of 1999,
Brian
Behlendorf emailed me saying that CollabNet was going to
write a new
version control system, and asked if I was interested in
joining. The
six years since then have been an amazing time, and both the
software
and the community that resulted are clearly here to stay.
Subversion today is the work of many people, and has a
tremendously
active developer group -- but at the same time, without
CollabNet's
vision and investment, Subversion would not exist. I thank
CollabNet
for starting the project, for staying behind it for as long
as it
took, and most of all for giving me one of the best
experiences of my
life. And note that CollabNet's commitment to Subversion
remains as
strong as ever: Garrett, David, Mike, and Daniel are still
here and
will still be working on Subversion. I'm looking forward
to coding
with them as a volunteer developer.
There are many reasons why I decided to change jobs now; I
won't go
into them here, except to say that they are entirely
personal and not
about CollabNet, which is a great place to work and which
I'm going to
miss a lot. I'm happy to talk off-list with anyone about
my new job,
but I wanted this mail to be just about CollabNet.
I'll be on vacation for the month of April, unsubscribed
from all
Subversion lists. After that I'll be participating in the
project as
a private citizen. See you in May, and happy hacking!
