Hey Ed,
Now we're really gonna be behind schedule on that graticule improvement
stuff... :)
Many, many thanks for your years of support, and best wishes on your new
venture (I expect the OLPC s/w will have awesome performance!).

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!

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!
