samba - Dec 2006 - Re: [opensuse] Open-source leader leaving Novell for Google

Jesus,

    I hope it isn't true. But if it is, we will miss him dearly, both here 
and very much so on the Samba list. However I can under stand and respect 
the decision. Good luck and God speed Jeremy. Jerry, can you pick up the 
slack?? An ill wind blows for us all as a result of the MS deal....

It's true I'm leaving Novell, but why do you think this means
I'm not going to be on any Samba lists ? I'm joining Google on
2nd Jan, and believe me when I tell you they're *very* interested
in me spending all my time on Samba :-) :-).

As Herb once said to me, "Same job, different office" :-) :-).

Jeremy.
