Greg,

I know I speak for many in expressing deep gratitude for the organization
you've created and the opportunities it has afforded all of us. There are
so many ways that this community and its work have supported and empowered
people to spread their own skills and abilities to the world. We all owe a
deep debt of gratitude to the integrated energy you have put behind this
organization and movement. We're sad to see you leave, we look forward to
hearing about what you're up to at Shopify and your continuing impacts in
this space. We look forward to hearing from you and seeing you around on
the mailing list, GitHub issues and maybe even teaching at workshops.

You created something pretty amazing, we are deeply thankful for all that
you have done for this community.

Regards,

Subject:  [Discuss] next steps

Hi everyone,

Software Carpentry has accomplished an amazing amount over the past six
and a half years, but a new opportunity has come up for me here in
Toronto that will mean less time away from family, and after a great
deal of thought, I've decided to pursue it. At the end of January 2017,
I will be taking a position as a Computer Science Education Lead at
Shopify, where I will help with their CS education partnerships. I'm
excited about this, but also look forward to continuing to be involved
in the Carpentries as a volunteer, and to many more discussions of
teaching, open science, and how awful Git truly is.

It has been a privilege working with you all - watching you turn a
handful of lessons into a global organization empowering tens of
thousands of researchers has been the best experience of my career.
Thank you for everything.

Best wishes,
Greg
