Even though you know it's coming it's never something you really want to happen...

    Well, today I was let go after being at Platform Computing working on our Open Source software for almost 5 years. It's been one of those up and downer days. I read the FLOSS blog postings from all the different communities and see people being let go and now I'm one of them :-(

    The writing was on the wall though for months, it's not like I didn't know this would happen. I just wanted to deny that It could happen, but it has happened.

    So, for now. I will not be dedicating much time to KDE while I try to find new work elsewhere. I don't look at this as a sad day, but as a new beginning for me...

    If anyone wants to hire a pretty smart Linux guy, please contact me :)

    Shawn.

    re: yup..

    Yes, I'm hopeful things will turn around soon on this front. But the economy is really hurting. This is just one of those moments life throws at you that you deal with.
