A lot of folks know about this already, but it occurred to me that it would be a good idea to send a more explicit notice. I think public knowledge of affiliation information is important for members of decision-making bodies so that the broader community can be aware of possible conflicts of interest.
So, towards that end, I wanted to let everyone know that I left Stanford University and joined Dropbox (https://www.dropbox.com/), starting last Tuesday (August 19th). I'm a member of the Dropbox site reliability engineering team (meaning that I work on the servers that keep the service up, but not on the product code). I don't expect this change to have any long-term impact on my Debian activities, except possibly freeing up more time to work on Debian depending on various pending conversations with Dropbox. I have, however, used this change as an opportunity to rethink various committments, and will be stepping down from some package maintenance teams (and, in the long run, possibly rejoining or at least resurrecting activity levels in others).
