To all the developers of Freeamp,
We at EMusic.com have made the tough decision not to continue
full-time development of Freeamp. This means that Rob Kaye, Mark
Elrod, Isaac Richards and Keith Steinbeck will be moving on to other
projects, some within EMusic, and some not.
I wanted to take this opportunity, first of all, to thank Rob, Mark,
Isaac and Keith for their extraordinary efforts on this extraordinary
product. I'm as proud of Freeamp as I am of anything I've done in my
career, and I think the four of you did a remarkable job as
distributed team working on an open source project. I still believe
that the Freeamp team within EMusic is the way a lot of commercial
software development will be done in the future. It was great to work
with all of you on such a grand experiment.
What does this mean for the future of Freeamp? In large part, that's
up to you, the developers. EMusic.com will continue to host the
freeamp.org domain, freeamp-dev mailing list and the CVS tree. It may
take a little while to work out the details, but new releases of
Freeamp will continue, and someone will be merging patches.
Good luck to all of you!
Brett
