Hi everyone, I got a couple of you who asked me what will happen with the community and the membership if I'm going away from the community.
First, just to be clear, I'm moving away because I'm back to being an employee starting tomorrow (and back to being a Linux and OS X sys admin), so I just can't give an average of 10 hours/week to the community (yes, by including my WOWODC 2012 presentations, I really gave an average of 10 hours/week to the community in the last 12 months). But the whole thing behind the Association registration and membership is that it can survive the departure of people. In the past, we lost resources like WOCode who went away because it was not owned by a group of different people or an separate organization. I didn't want this to happen anymore, that's why we registered the Association and that the server is paid (in fact, it's rented) by the Association. So, in short, do not panic! Everything will be fine. And I'm still one of the directors of the Association, along with Chuck Hill and Stephen Smith, so even if I die next week, the Association will still exist (unless North Korea send atomic bombs on Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal, likely won't happen). As for WOWODC 2013, again no worry. We have an event manager that works on it, and I will be at the conference too. And you asked that we have an event manager so that the event go more smoothly, we have it. You also asked that we find a hotel with a better WiFi network, we found one (the WiFi network at the Hilton can support 500 devices easily, and we have a minimum of 10 Mbps guarantee just for the event). Yes, it cost more, but it was the cost to pay to have a better conference. So if you hesitate to buy your WOWODC tickets or to get membership because I said I was going out, do not hesitate, and I'm sure other leaders will take over some of the tasks I was doing. Thanks. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
