[rust-dev] Changing roles

Hi, Rustic individuals -- I'm going to be changing roles from paid contributor to Rust, to volunteer. My last day working at Mozilla will be a week from now, November 15. While I still intend to contribute to Rust, after the 15th I will no longer be the owner of rustpkg. I have been talking with other core team members about identifying a new owner for rustpkg so that work on it will progress, and I'm confident that we will have an arrangement in place by the time I leave. If there are rustpkg bugs you would like me to try to fix in my remaining week, please @-mention me (catamorphism) in a comment on the relevant github issue. https://etherpad.mozilla.org/Rustpkg-priorities shows my idea of the priorities. For those interested in participating in OPW, don't worry, almost nothing is changing -- I'll still be the mentor for Rust. However, Larissa Shapiro (see https://wiki.mozilla.org/GNOME_Outreach_December2013 ) will be the coordinator and will answer any general questions about applying to work on a Mozilla project through OPW. It's been truly an honor to get to work on a project like Rust as my full-time job, due in no small part to Rust's large and vibrant community of volunteers. It would already be motivating to know that my work enables the range of interesting projects that people are using Rust for. It adds another level of excitement to know that many of those people are working on Rust, and writing applications in Rust, for sheer pleasure, with no immediate external reward. I'll still be on the mailing list and IRC channel, so this isn't goodbye. If you're interested in what I'm up to next, I'll probably be keeping track of it on my blog ( http://tim.dreamwidth.org/ ).
