Dear Factory Community, From April 1st I'm going to have a new role at SUSE, as their newest Distributions Architect helping design and build our future distributions and the processes around them. This means after 5 years my time as a Release Engineer has come to an end. It’s been an absolute pleasure managing the releases of MicroOS, starting the MicroOS Desktop, and being Dominique’s backup for keeping Tumbleweed rolling. This isn’t goodbye as you can be sure I’ll be still be around, working with you all as part of my new role. I’ll also be keeping a close hand on my baby, the MicroOS Desktop, even though formal responsibility for MicroOS will fall to my successor as Release Engineer. Talking about that, would YOU like to be that successor? The job position is already open for applications, and we'd love to recruit someone from the community. You can find more and apply here: https://suse.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/Jobsatsuse/job/Prague-Czech-Republic/Linu... I can certainly say that my time in the role was not only the most educational time I've had working on SUSE/openSUSE, but also the most fun. It's a great opportunity for someone to get totally hands-on with the Factory/Tumbleweed/MicroOS codebase, which I would hope is a great deal of the people here. Have a lot of fun, Richard -- Richard Brown Linux Distribution Engineer - Early Adopters Team SUSE Software Solutions Germany GmbH, Frankenstraße 146, D-90461 Nuremberg, Germany (HRB 36809, AG Nürnberg) Managing Directors/Geschäftsführer: Ivo Totev, Andrew Myers, Andrew McDonald, Martje Boudien Moerman

Thanks, but to correct the record, I didn't create MicroOS, Thorsten deserves all the credit for that. I can only lay claim to MicroOS's cute Desktop sibling Thanks again for the kind words :) - Richard
