Steve -
I think you and Brent will never let me REALLY retire until that graticule (and
title blocks, and neatlines, etc., etc.) are done!

Congrats Ed, sounds like you've moved on to an equally interesting topic from
TopoZone. Glad to hear
TopoZone lives on in some shape or form. I'm sure I speak for all community
members when I say
thanks for all your help over the years. We'll have to find a new performance,
data optimization,
projection and raster guru. ;-)
I hope you'll be back since you still owe me real graticule support... Best of
luck!
Steve

Folks -
Old-timers may have noticed that I've been relatively quiet on this list for
the last few months. Newer folks might only have seen the improvement <g>. I
am about to sign off - at least temporarily - as I will no longer be an active
MapServer user or developer.
My TopoZone business was acquired by Demand Media, the parent company of
trails.com, in June, 2007. I worked with trails.com to integrate our
technology into theirs (they were already using a very similar MapServer-based
system) and completed that work last April. As of April, 2008 we closed down
the former TopoZone servers and office. It was great to work with the
trails.com team, but it made little sense to keep a teeny satellite team out in
Massachusetts (they're based in Seattle).
I took a little time off to do a few things on my to-do list. As of last
Monday I've started a new position as VP of Software Development for the One
Laptop Per Child Foundation in Cambridge, MA, building low-cost laptops for
children around the world with lots of cool applications on them. This is
keeping me pretty busy with a rather massive open source development project
with a team of great people scattered around the globe. I'll be busy doing
that work and won't really have the time to help out here (until I start
needing more maps...)
Thanks to all the present and former members of this list who've helped me a
lot with MapServer (and GDAL, and PROJ, etc.) and to those of you I've actually
met in person at our conferences both pre- and post-OSGeo. If I can be of any
assistance to any of you, please let me know - thanks!
