So Long, and Thanks for all the Fish

Well, as Giuseppe announced, I am leaving the MySQL Community Team after almost three years. I'll still be working at Sun, but as a staff engineer on the Drizzle project in the Sun CTO organization. We are looking for someone to pick up the reins in the North American MySQL community and assume the role as Community Relations manager. Interested? Get in touch with Giuseppe or myself after reading his article about the requirements of the job.

I should add that candidates should be advised about Giuseppe. As your team lead, he may subject you such horrors as excellent project and managerial skills, a kind and encouraging shoulder on which to vent, and a deep, heartfelt connection with open source and community issues. In addition, you can look forward to working with Kaj, Lenz, and Colin, three of the hardest-working people at MySQL which will eventually make you feel like you just can't do enough to keep up.

So, MySQL Community, thanks for all the Fish! Of course, I won't be too far at all. Working on Drizzle, it's pretty likely you'll be hearing from me. That is, if Brian and Monty let me out of my coding rabbit-hole...
