Hi Everyone, Last Friday was my last day at Google and Dataflow team. I had a great time and learnt lot from working on both Apache Beam and Dataflow.
My new job at a startup is not directly related to Apache Beam and I will not be able to spend a lot of time on support or development of KafkaIO. Alexey Romanenko has been quite active in Apache Beam community and I had many productive interactions with him on KafkaIO pull requests. I think he will be a great lead to take KafkaIO forward. Many of you made contributors to KafkaIO and I am sure you will continue to do so. I have been a contributor for Apache projects for a long, and I do think it is important for us to support end users as best as we can. I will be following Apache Beam developments and will be available for questions and reviews of pull requests or feature discussions. Thanks, Raghu.
