Re: An update on Eugene
Hi Eugene, I'm sad also to hear this, you've always been a very valuable team member of the Beam community. We will miss you. Thanks for everything you've done and all the good things you brought to Beam. I wish you very happy and successful new adventures ! Hope to have updates in the future.

Re: An update on Eugene
Hi Eugene, first of all, big congrats to you ! I'm sure that we will see a great programming model for machine learning ! I would like also to thank you for the work you did, helping lot of people, reviewing bunch of PRs (always high quality review). I'm sure we will have the chance to work together in the future ! >From the Talend side: 1. I will lead with the update of the Spark runner with the help of Ismaël and Etienne 2. Etienne is leading metric and Nexmark with the help of Alexey 3. Ismaël and I are working on Splittable DoFn 4. I'm working on Beam Schema with Anton and Reuven 5. For the IO, I'm leading the Talend team (all together) Thanks again Eugene, and all the best for your new journey !

Re: An update on Eugene
You will be missed equally by both the developers and the users. Thanks for your contributions across the entire Beam code base and the community. All the best in your new projects. Raghu.

Eugene, Thanks for all your contributions to the project and especially the leadership in the IOs and SDF area. Congrats and best wishes for your new opportunity.

Re: An update on Eugene
I am sad to read this, but at the same happy for you and your future adventures Eugene. Thanks a lot for all the work you have done in this project, all the work on SDF, the improvements on composability and the File-based IOs, and of course for your reviews that really helped improve the quality in many areas of the project as well as other areas that I probably forget. In general it has been really nice to see the way you grew in the open source side of the project too, and your presence will be definitely missed. Best wishes for the work on the new programming model and hope to hear back from you in the future.

An update on Eugene
Hi beamers, After 5.5 years working on data processing systems at Google, several of these years working on Dataflow and Beam, I am moving on to do something new (also at Google) in the area of programming models for machine learning. Anybody who worked with me closely knows how much I love building programming models, so I could not pass up on the opportunity to build a new one - I expect to have a lot of fun there! On the new team we very much plan to make things open-source when the time is right, and make use of Beam, just as TensorFlow does - so I will stay in touch with the community, and I expect that we will still work together on some things. However, Beam will no longer be the main focus of my work. I've made the decision a couple months ago and have spent the time since then getting things into a good state and handing over the community efforts in which I have played a particularly active role - they are in very capable hands: - Robert Bradshaw and Ankur Goenka on Google side are taking charge of Portable Runners (e.g. the Portable Flink runner). - Luke Cwik will be in charge of the future of Splittable DoFn. Ismael Mejia has also been involved in the effort and actively helping, and I believe he continues to do so. - The Beam IO ecosystem in general is in very good shape (perhaps the best in the industry) and does not need a lot of constant direction; and it has a great community (thanks JB, Ismael, Etienne and many others!) - however, on Google side, Chamikara Jayalath will take it over. It was a great pleasure working with you all. My last day formally on Beam will be this coming Friday, then I'll take a couple weeks of vacation and jump right in on the new team. Of course, if my involvement in something is necessary, I'm still available on all the same channels as always (email, Slack, Hangouts) - but, in general, please contact the folks mentioned above instead of me about the respective matters from now on. Thanks!
