Hei Guys just to keep you informed too, since these days people around me are asking what my plans are.
I am currently funded until July'09 by Switzerland for doing research at the University of Calgary. We applied before Xmas for a grant to get me financed until Feb. 2010, since the project should last until Feb. Whether this application will work out I will probably know by March. If it fails, there are dozens of options ranging somewhere between staying in Calgary and start working in a (GIS-IT/Consulting) company or leaving and following the academic path - i.e. go to another university somewhere in a western country (probably not the US, but Canada/Europe/Aus are options) where I can survive with English or German ;o). So.. until July'09 my OJ involvement should be as usual, for August'09 I plan to travel Canada, and then by September I need see what life brings. I'll keep you updated. cheers, stefan Stefan Steiniger schrieb: > Dear OpenJUMP users and developers, > > it is already Janurary 3rd, nevertheless I wish all of you a good start > into the new year 2009! > > I especially like to thank Larry and Michael for keep things going on > the programming side of OJ, Peppe for his efforts on the documentation, > the already mentioned as well as Jukka, Landon and Martin for answering > the stream of questions that arrived on the list.
