[Python-Dev] No longer at ActiveState. (original) (raw)

FYI, I am no longer emplyed by ActiveState (Merry Christmas! :)

Au, that hurts. :(

ActiveState have pretty much stopped all Komodo and Python work for the forseeable future. This left me without an immediate project and therefore without an immediate job. It was very dissapointing to hear this just after slaving to get the 1.2 release of Komodo out the door and just a few days before Christmas.

I'll say. I'm guessing we might as well drop ActiveState from the list of PSF sponsors now.

So, please don't use my ActiveState.com email address. Further, I will probably be moving back to being self-employed (in the short term anyway), so if anyone hears of suitable opportunities, then feel free to pass them my way :)

Hmm... The economy is going through a rough time on this side of the pond / border as well. :(

On the bright side, it will free my time to finish up some pending Python work I have been meaning to do.

Yay!

Will we see you at the next (last) Python conference?
