Best of luck with the new field, John. Your extreme expertise and coding skills will be very much missed.

Hi everyone, I'm sad to announce that I've decided to leave my position at Intel and the virtual world development sphere. 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.
