Some news to share - my role as Open Source Program Director at Posit was eliminated in December, so I’ll be moving on to new opportunities.

I'm so grateful for the time at RStudio/Posit, & the chance to work with such talented and kind people in open source. It was a truly a joy and a privilege to work with colleagues who will remain friends.

While this chapter comes to a close, I'm looking forward to staying involved with projects like TidyTuesday and pyOpenSci & whatever is next!

@tracykteal I'm so sorry to hear about the unexpected change πŸ’›
@amcasari thanks so much! I'm so glad we've been able to meet and talk open source, and hope our paths continue to cross.
@tracykteal 😒😒 i will very much miss you!
@cscheid thanks so much! I already miss you too. I will be sharing my coffee stories by email though, so we don't miss the important things.
@tracykteal I will miss you! Looking forward to ways we can collaborate in the future.
@jeremy_data thanks so much! I'll miss you too. I loved working with you, and the perspective you bring to public sector data science.

@hfrick me too! 😒 So glad we still have pictures of cats to share, and data and leadership to chat about. This is just the beginning of so many great conversations to come.

@thomas_sandmann thank you so much! And great to hear from you, hope you're doing well.

@tracykteal What?! It's past time Posit made a public statement about the layoffs.
@tracykteal it was great meeting you this summer at Posit Conf! I’m glad we’ll be able to stay in contact with one another through @R4DSCommunity and work on the TidyTuesday project together. Best wishes in your future endeavors.
