Re: [platform-dev] Saying Goodbye To SWT

Hello everyone,

I have some rather bittersweet news to share: as of this Wednesday I
will no longer be working on the Eclipse/SWT team at Red Hat. I haven't
left the company, but I will be moving to a new group where I'll be
working on Eclipse Che (specifically Che plugins).

SWT was my first journey into professional software development, as was
the Eclipse team at Red Hat. I have learned a lot over the years, and I
hold very dear the experiences I have had. I'd also like to thank all of
you who make SWT and the Eclipse community great -- there are some
seriously talented people working on the Eclipse Platform, and I believe
it is better off because of it. It's been an honour to work with all of
you, and I have full confidence that SWT (and the Eclipse IDE in
general) will continue to flourish in the future.

I'll be finishing up some Gerrits in the coming days, as well as
unassigning myself from bugs. I'll keep an ear out for things that I can
respond to quickly, and I'll still be keeping my commit rights. Other
than that I'll be officially starting my new duties as of Wednesday
December 18th.

I've really enjoyed my time here, and I wish you all the best. Don't be
strangers!

It was an honor to work with you Eric and I was especially happy to see you manage to drive SWT Gtk port to be the best one!
 


Eric
