[HEADS UP] Retiring from Atmosphere/Open Source (locked post)
jfarcand wrote:Salut,

Today will be my last day actively working in the open source world. For
the last 15 years I've collaborated on several open source projects,
sending around 22980 emails to mailing lists

I've spend most of my time for the last 8 years on Atmosphere, having
constructed a huge and active community! The most impressive part is the
fact that I was able to found Async-IO.org and make a living out of it
for the last 2 1/2 years :-) Can you believe that Async-IO.org currently
has 50+ customers paying for support and Atmosphere Pro? Something I've
never expected :-)

Now since January 2015 I've co-founded Yulplay.com, a company building
social sports games. The company is growing fast and I'm now leading a
team of peoples building games with open source frameworks...my turn to
use open source :-) That means I won't work anymore on a daily basis on
Atmosphere, answer emails, fix bugs, integrate new features, etc. I
will/may integrate pull requests when I have "time", and cut minor
release when needed by Async-IO.org customers. But that will be a really
small contribution.

But the project is not dead at all, Aki and Sebastian will continue to
supports 2.x release, and I'm sure other contributors will jumps in when
needed. The only sad news is their won't be a 3.0 release unless someone
takes the lead.

That's it for me!

A+

P.S If you like Atmosphere and wants to contribute to it, do pull
requests and I promise I will review it and elect you as a committer.
