Dear FOSSologists, Friday will be my final day on the FOSSology project. This has been a truly wonderful and rewarding experience. However, after nearly four years, it is time for me to divert my full attention to other projects.
When I first started, Stormy Peters brought me on board to help maintain some software. I think that lasted about a month. At Ragavan Srinivasan's urging, I began development on a small analysis experiment based tangentially on my work with protein folding prediction and computer forensics. Somehow that little experiment expanded into a big project, and then Bob Gobeille's vision directed it into FOSSology. I never expected that little test to become anything significant, and I certainly didn't expect my role to last more than one or two years, nor to be the longest lasting person on the project. (Bob has a year to go before he catches up to me.) Three contract managers, six project managers (including three in two months), two architects, one program manager (Hi Dan!), and dozens of brilliant minds later, I think FOSSology has evolved into a spectacular project with a dream team behind it. Having said that, I've turned over the nearly 36,000 lines of code I have written (more than 90% of source code and sloccount says it should have taken me 8.61 years -- damn, I'm prolific!) to the other developers on the team.
