[asterisk-users] So long, and thanks for all the fish!

[Kevin P. Fleming]

I've been with Digium for just over seven years, and it's been an
incredible experience that I wouldn't have traded for anything. When
Mark Spencer invited me to visit Digium (and Huntsville) in early
2005, I could not have dreamed that I'd end up working for such an
exciting, innovative company, finding a wife, and meeting hundreds of
people (many of whom are now friends) around the world. It's been a
time of tremendous personal and career growth, and my wonderful
colleagues at Digium and in the Asterisk open source community have
been directly responsible for most of that.

Recently, though, I've been presented an opportunity to take on a new
challenge and this has resulted in my acceptance of a new job, in a
new industry. In the middle of September, I'll start working for
Bloomberg, L.P., in the Office of the CTO, helping to lead their
nascent open source initiative. I'll be working to bring the power of
open source software, open standards, and community building to the
financial market data services industry, where it is sorely needed
(and overdue). Michelle and I will be relocating to the greater New
York City area, but Michelle will continue in her role as Digium's
in-house counsel. Because of our need to relocate, I'll only be at
Digium until August 8th, although I'll be in Huntsville until around
Labor Day.

This is yet another incredibly exciting, career changing opportunity
in my life, and I can't wait to see what it will bring. I'll be
forever thankful for the opportunity that Digium and the Asterisk
community provided me to learn, grow and find the place where my skills 
and experience are the most valuable (to both myself and my employer).
