Hi all!
Pat had emailed me before sending his note to the mailing list, asking
me if I'd be willing to step back into the FreeDOS Project for him. I
said yes, but wanted to wait for Pat & I to chat before I sent a note
here to announce my return. But Pat may be away from email right now.
I only resubscribed to the FreeDOS lists on Monday, so didn't see that
Pat sent a call for a new project coordinator on Sunday.
Anyway, let me take this moment to say "I'm back". :-)
A quick summary for those curious about my whereabouts since doing the
handoff to Pat in 2009:
I had planned to enter grad school, for a Master's degree in
Management of Technology ("MS-MOT"). But a few months after passing
the coordinator role to Pat, and right before entering the MOT
program, I had an opportunity to apply for an outstanding job. I had
to decide: pay the non-refundable tuition, and ignore the fabulous
opportunity - or miss the tuition deadline to apply for the new
position.
I went for the job. While I didn't get that job, those events led me
to an even *better* position as campus IT Director / CIO at the
University of Minnesota Morris, where I am now.
I never *totally* disappeared from FreeDOS, anyway. If you're on the
'freedos-svn' email list, you may have noticed I did some work on an
updated FreeDOS Installer. And of course, I've been updating the web
site.
