This is my last official week, although I will be tying up development ends in the open source virtual world arena for a bit longer. 2011 marks my fifth year working on virtual worlds, from the beginning of libsecondlife/libopenmetaverse to the current OpenSim and SimianGrid development. Things have come a long way from reverse engineering the terrain packet encoding, and we now have a decentralized network of worlds and a protocol to link them together. My departure is the beginning of a new adventure into machine learning with an early stage startup. This endeavor is a full-time commitment and won't leave me enough time to contribute to OpenSim/SimianGrid/libOpenMetaverse/Fortis/Aurora/VWRAP in any substantive way. Although I'm transitioning into a different area of technology, I'm still interested in the progress of the open metaverse and keeping in contact with everyone, and can be reached any time at this e-mail. On a related note, Intel's Virtual Worlds Infrastructure team is looking for a software researcher. Working with the VWI team has been great; I can't say enough good things about being a member of the team and advancing research in the virtual worlds and distributed computing field. Ping Mic Bowman if you are interested in working in the field in a research capacity. I am going to miss working with all of you, and I wish the best of luck to everyone in this area. I'll pop into IRC periodically to say hello.
