Posted by sunahouston on January 29, 2010 at 8:45 AM PST Obrigado, my friends, It is time for me to leave Sun/Oracle. Thanks, to all of the Java Champions, NetBeans Dream Teamers and JUG Leaders who have just been terrific over the last (5) years....You guys are "cool"! Stick together and maintain your connections with each other. See you on the other side... But, I probably won't be too far away ;-) JUGs/JC's support Nichole Scott, she's gonna need it, really! Special Thanks, to Bruno Souza (aka "braziljavaman") for teaching me pretty much everything I know about online communities. And finally, Special Thanks, to James Gosling and all of the Java Technology Evangelists that I have worked with over the years....(Thanks James, for joining my Facebook account -- Kewl!...and please don't wear a tie) Viva!

Mauricio Login or register to post comments Best of luck to you. Submitted by gsporar on Fri, 2010-01-29 20:45. So sorry to see this happen.... I remember very clearly a meeting I attended with JUG leaders in Zurich back in 2007 - they were from all over Europe and they all expressed the exact same thing about working with Sun Microsystems: "Aaron Houston is AWESOME!" For so many people in the Java community, you were the face of Sun Microsystems and you did a great job at it. Best of luck to you in the future. - Gregg Login or register to post comments You don't necessarily have to "sign off" of java.net Submitted by kfarnham on Fri, 2010-01-29 17:19. Hi Aaron. I wish you the best, wherever you go. I also want to say that you are still welcome to blog here about JUGs, etc., and other Java-related topics that interest you. If you'll still be active within the Java community, why not continue to blog here? Login or register to post comments All the best Submitted by marinasum on Fri, 2010-01-29 16:05.
