Yes, we're sorry to see Jody go. He's off to work for LisaSoft in Australia. I'm not sure if his duties there will include work on GeoTools/uDig, but I'm pretty sure he'll be trying to stay involved in those projects.
I don't think this will be a fatal blow to either GeoTools or uDig, however. GeoTools is being well supported via the GeoServer crowd, who I think are on a roll right now with funding and releases. uDig is mostly being maintained by Jesse Eichar (another recent departure...), and some other folks around the globe. A key point here is that it's a good thing to have a lot of people and organizations involved in OSS projects, because they aren't badly hurt by any one person leaving. Which is the happy situation that OJ is now in! Sunburned Surveyor wrote: > It seems like that company has been going trough a lot of personnel > changes.
