Jason - I’d also like to express my appreciation for all you’ve done to benefit the PyMOL community. You have, time and again, proven yourself to be an extremely responsive and helpful leader both in developing the software and in enabling others to learn to use it. Like many on these lists, I’m sure, after hearing of Warren’s untimely passing 5 years ago, I was saddened of course, but also concerned about what would happen to PyMOL without him. Fortunately, it couldn’t have landed in better hands. I wish you all the best in your new endeavor.

You assumed responsibility for PyMOL and managed to give it a new home at Schrödinger. We are sorry to see you leave and will truly miss you here. To me personally, you have been a great mentor and guide and I can hardly enumerate what I learned from you. I owe you deep gratitude. It is my honour to now take the lead on PyMOL and serve the community and our sponsors as best as I can. The PyMOL team at Schrödinger is strongly dedicated to continuously improve PyMOL and keep the PyMOL spirit alive.

I have recently been given an offer I can't refuse—to follow one of my dreams—helping lead technology and science at a new startup. March 30th marked my last day at Schrödinger and supporting PyMOL. Because of my great fondness for PyMOL and its community, I will continue to operate the PyMOLWiki until I find it a suitable home. I started the PyMOLWiki in 2005 and since then it's been visited over 15,289,590 times! (If you would like to sponsor or host the wiki feel free to email me.) Now I can't imagine the PyMOL community without it. Last, I am truly humbled to have followed in the footsteps of Warren DeLano. He was an amazing man whose ideas and actions have touched the lives of millions, whether they know it or not. He is missed. It's been great fun. I wish you all the best.
