[rust-dev] Changing roles
Hi, Rustic individuals -- I'm going to be changing roles from paid contributor to Rust, to volunteer. My last day working at Mozilla will be a week from now, November 15. While I still intend to contribute to Rust, after the 15th I will no longer be the owner of rustpkg. I have been talking with other core team members about identifying a new owner for rustpkg so that work on it will progress, and I'm confident that we will have an arrangement in place by the time I leave. If there are rustpkg bugs you would like me to try to fix in my remaining week, please @-mention me (catamorphism) in a comment on the relevant github issue. https://etherpad.mozilla.org/Rustpkg-priorities shows my idea of the priorities. For those interested in participating in OPW, don't worry, almost nothing is changing -- I'll still be the mentor for Rust. However, Larissa Shapiro (see https://wiki.mozilla.org/GNOME_Outreach_December2013 ) will be the coordinator and will answer any general questions about applying to work on a Mozilla project through OPW. It's been truly an honor to get to work on a project like Rust as my full-time job, due in no small part to Rust's large and vibrant community of volunteers. It would already be motivating to know that my work enables the range of interesting projects that people are using Rust for. It adds another level of excitement to know that many of those people are working on Rust, and writing applications in Rust, for sheer pleasure, with no immediate external reward. I'll still be on the mailing list and IRC channel, so this isn't goodbye. If you're interested in what I'm up to next, I'll probably be keeping track of it on my blog ( http://tim.dreamwidth.org/ ). Cheers, Tim -- Tim Chevalier * http://catamorphism.org/ * Often in error, never in doubt If you are silent about your pain, they'll kill you and say you enjoyed it. -- Zora Neale Hurston ___ Rust-dev mailing list Rust-dev@mozilla.org https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/rust-dev

You have done an excellent job. Thank you.

Both to myself and to those I've worked with, it just isn't a great fit for me. In recognition of this, I am stepping aside to work elsewhere in the organization, and Brian will be assuming the role of technical lead of Rust. Brian is one of the most skilled, judicious, professional and productive developers I've ever worked with. Along with the exceptional skill and dedication of the rest of the Rust team, I have complete confidence in the remaining path to a successful 1.x series of what has shaped up to be an excellent language. It has been a rare pleasure and privilege to work with the Rust team, both those inside Mozilla and in the broader community.

The language that you invented and that I adore has come so very far under your leadership, and I hope that we can continue to build on the example you have set. It's been an enriching experience working with you, Graydon, and I wish you the best on your next project. -Brian ___ Rust-dev mailing list Rust-dev@mozilla.org https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/rust-dev
Re: [rust-dev] changing roles
Graydon, So what does not drain you ? What kicks you into high gear and keeps you salivating for more ? Many of us do not know you personally, and knowing a bit more about what really interests you, would open a few of our eyes on the list.
