Hi everyone,
I'm pleased to announce that SocketStream has a new project leader, Henrik Vendelbo.
A while ago I asked if Henrik would like to consider taking over from me - he had managed to do more for SocketStream in 12 months than I had managed to do in a couple of years, and given that I was in the middle of writing a book for Manning publications and looking to move countries, it felt right to hand over the project to someone with more time.
I still have a lot of love for the project, but my time has been stretched, and so I found myself in a similar position to the one that Owen was in 2 years ago when he handed the project over to me. Running an open source software project can be a huge undertaking, and if you have the time its great, but if not then it becomes a struggle. I've discovered that for myself, and I knew I'd need to step back from my commitments rather than try and do all the things.
I'm happy to have made a dent in getting SocketStream to a more certain place - dealing with the 0.3/0.4 code split, getting the code ported from CoffeeScript to JavaScript, and putting code coverage and testing at the center of how the framework would develop.
I'll continue to be involved with the project, but as a contributor rather than the project leader. This way SocketStream can progress faster.
Thank you Henrik, and over to you.
