FYI: David K. will be leaving the RIPE NCC
Dear all, After working for nearly 2 years at the RIPE NCC, I feel it is time for a change. I have found a new job at ISI (Los Angeles) where I will be involved with the RA project. I will leave the RIPE NCC at the end of July. As for the RIPE database: We currently plan to bring out the long expected 2.00 release version as soon as possible to keep some time left while I am still at the RIPE NCC in case problems arise. You can soon expect a message from me at the database working group maillist with all the open proposals (as promised during the last RIPE meeting). I would like to thank the RIPE community for their support of and input on my development work on the RIPE database and the reverse delegation tool. I hope that I will be able to collaborate as productively with you in my new job as we have in the past. Kind regards, David K. RIPE NCC ----
David, Congratulations and welcome to the US ;-) I think you did a great job maintaining the RIPE DB software mess that Tony and I left you with.... -Marten David.Kessens@ripe.net writes * * Dear all, * * After working for nearly 2 years at the RIPE NCC, I feel it is time for a * change.

David I'm sorry to hear you're leaving the RIPE NCC and wish you every success in the new job. Our loss is certainly ISI's gain. Your work lives on and has been of great benefit to RIPE and all its working groups. Even though you've been living in reverse domain land for quite some time, your ideas are still very forward-looking. Also, your kind manner, gentle humour and ever-helpful nature are qualities which epitomise the RIPE spirit and are bound to enhance any environment in which you are involved. In that sense, you'll still be a member of the RIPE community and I hope we can meet soon. Regards. Mike
It goes without saying that all of us at the NCC wish David the very best for his future. His new job will give us many opportunities to keep in touch and work together. David has done much good work which has been praised so well by others already very elequently. I agree with their praise. Until July David is going to continue the good work by implementing and documenting new features in the database software as listed in yesterday's message. We plan to deploy the new whois server at the NCC early next week and the new update process shortly threreafter. We will keep you posted. After deployment here we will publish the needed documentation. We plan to release this software (2.0) before David leaves and we will circulate the release notes soon. We are already in the process of hiring more technical staff. Some of them will take the baton from David so that the evoloution and maintenance of the database software will continue as smoothly as possible. Daniel
