As you can imagine that means I’m no more employed to work on OLPC/Sugar.

Something similar happened temporarily several months ago and I was so sad and scared for Sugar future. I’m happy to report that this time I’m totally happy, excited and confident about being back to be a volounteer. This is the result of the progress Sugar made as a community, we are now walking alone and we don’t need a company or a person to drive development.

I know, it’s a bit of a mess and there is way too much to do. But we did the huge step from a company driven project to a community one. That’s what really matters, only very few projects are able to make it. It will take two years or twenty, I don’t know, but now we are unstoppable and we will get where we want to be. The list of people that made this possible is way too long but… you know who you are and I want you to know that I’m grateful and proud about what each of you achieved.

So I’m a volounteer now and I will be able to throw all of my passion into the project again. I’ve been thinking and having conversations about the best way for me to contribute from now on. I’ll keep doing it and any feedback will be appreciated and valuable. In general, if you need help with anything just let me know!

I can’t believe it, I’m soooo looking forward for it now, I really hope it will happen. I must be dreaming, two of my Christmas hugs unexpectedly getting real in a couple of days. Only one to go!

It can hurt sometimes, if the people you need to hug the most are too far, in space or even worst in the mind.

Maybe you spent two hours chasing down a bug which someone else solved properly in a few minutes. Maybe you joined meetings and had conversations without feeling to be able to add anything really useful to them, to suprise and to make people smile. And then maybe you have been hoping for an easy chance to fill that emptiness, something hanging so low that even in that complete lack of energy you would be able to catch.

Well, maybe that’s today for me. And maybe I should stop waiting for that chance and just wait for tomorrow.
