Hello everyone,
First of all, I know I've had a shorter than usual fuse of
late. I'd like to apologize to everyone about this. It is the
culmination of quite a few things increasing the load I'm under.
One of those things is this: October 14th will be my last day
working for Weka.IO. Accordingly, my involvement in D will be
considerably reduced after that date, as working with D will no
longer be my day job.
A few of you knew that I was looking for a new job, but I
postponed officially announcing this, as I wanted to see who
will be taking over maintenance of Mecca. On that front, I have
some good news and some bad news.
The bad news is that the person taking over will not have Mecca
as his sole responsibility. I am hoping he'll be able to do
enough.
The good news is that they put on this task my top pick for it.
His name is Eyal Lotem, and is a great developer. Some of you
have met him as he attended DConf three years ago.
I will probably keep half an eye on the forum, and I might also
be around on the Slack channels. My email address will change
as a result. Feel free to find me at firstn...@lastname.biz,
after applying the relevant substitutions. I think it's a
better captcha than running D code :-)

Please do keep around if you can. I hope to have some good news
regarding D processes (the wetware kind) soon.
I do hope you get to keep your job title wherever you go next,
its the best I've ever seen :)
So long and thanks for all the laughs, Chief Court Jester
Nic
