After a year of enormous effort, we are approaching start of mass production with XO-4. It is time for me to announce my departure from OLPC. My work at OLPC has been a demanding one and I have given it all my energy. But I have a young family in a foreign country, and I find that I need to take things easier and find a bit more personal time. It has been a great run of ~7 years with OLPC, ~5 of them with a formal position in the organization, and it has been a great pleasure to be part of this. Hacking, disagreeing and designing... looking for a better widget, for a different world for our children. I continue to be amazed at how hard it is... and at how much you accomplish on the ground. But all those accomplishments involve more hands than the members of devel@l.l.o (and related lists). A lot more hands. We should always remember and respect the teachers and technicians dealing with problems every day. Problems that may seem trivial for us while we type an email or update a wikipage, but that are huge when you don't know the fix, or your don't have the tools or parts handy, and you are singlehandedly supporting a school of hundreds of kids with XOs. John Watlington will be taking over my responsibilities. We have in fact been working as a team covering HW and SW with our respective strengths.. We share style and background with OLPC. There is not much of a transition to worry about, he has been involved in all major decisions, including hiring me back in 2008 (now you know who to blame!). I am not completely disappearing from the scene -- I'll stay on devel@l.l.o :-) I will continue to be involved in e-learning projects with Moodle and to be part of OLPC's "extended family". Bear in mind I cannot promise much time involvement -- I will be starting a new job and prioritizing personal time. My last day with OLPC will be March 8th. After that, mar...@laptop.org will be no more, and martin.langh...@gmail.com is where you can reach me. let's keep hacking together, m -- mar...@laptop.org -- Software Architect - OLPC - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
