ContentSorry to have been quiet for so long. I’ve been heads down getting the final version of the OpenSearch 1.1 specification finished and preparing a community-oriented OpenSearch website. With luck those will both go live within the week.
On a related note, today is my last day with A9/Amazon. It has been an amazing several years here. The team is like family to me. I would work with any of them again in a heartbeat. I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to learn from such great people and I wish them all nothing but the best. And remember what Udi says, we’re still at day one in search.
Over the next few weeks I plan to spend a lot of time hanging out around the Bay Area meeting with interesting people. There are a half dozen short projects that I want to tackle and so many things I have queued up to write about. The future promises great things (more on that soon), so keep watching this space…

while i’m sure a9 doesn’t want you to leave, there are a bunch of us eager to collaborate with you. make sure you take time to breathe in and enjoy exploring the choices around you.
best of luck.

Congrats on seeking out new opportunities. Hope we have some time to sync up now that you’re independent.
