Public Knowledge

Today I made an announcement on our internal maillinglist. I told my colleagues that I walked into an irresistible opportunity and that I will be leaving the organization.

It is the sort of announcement over which you should be happy but wich brings you mixed feelings. Perhaps because I still feel part of a very good team.

Anyway, the dice has rolled (*). It is now public knowledge that I’ll be joining NLnet Labs as of September 1 with the intend to take over responsibilities as a director per January 1, 2006.

But I am not gone yet. I still have things to do and projects to finish. So although I announced that I’ll be going, I’m not ready to leave yet.

* that’s the second time today I use that term today.
