I Bid You Adieu!
All good things must come to an end, as the saying goes. MY tenure here on New Linux User is no different.
NLU came to life just before October of 2005 and it’s been a fun ride. I’ve decided to depart from b5 both as New Linux User blogger and as Tech Channel Editor. I have some personal projects that I’d like to dedicate more time to and since nobody seems to be making more hours, I need to pare down what I do in the existing ones. b5 has been the single greatest blogging experience of my career so far. Working with Jeremy, Darren, Duncan, and Shai has been inspiring and the bloggers and other channel editors that form the body of b5 has been nothing short of amazing. I’ll miss the community and obviously bright future b5 has ahead of it, but sometimes you need to swim or sink on your own.
I’d be remiss if I didn’t thank all you for reading the blog. This blog has what I consider to be a tremendous amount of traffic and it’s very gratifying to see how many people come here for information, advice, and to correct me. This blog is its own little community and I know that whoever steps in to take over my role will strive to keep that community going.
Thank you all.
Jon

Cheers Jon, it’s been an interesting read. I think you and I both started using Linux at roughly the same time, so I’ve been reading your blog with interest since I first discovered it last year. Good luck with your future endeavours. :)

My brother’s going to be the new blogger for NLU.com - I didn’t even know the site existed. I’m new to Linux, so I’ve subscribed to the RSS feed :).
