After Mozilla

As mentioned in my previous post I will no longer be employed by MoCo in July. This might leave some of you with some questions I will attempt to answer here. Most significantly:

• If you want Mozilla’s opinion about standards and used me as a proxy, use Mozilla’s standards-positions going forward.
• Mozilla will be represented on the WHATWG Steering Group by Tantek Çelik going forward.
• Due to inertia I will remain the Editor of a number of WHATWG Workstreams. Always happy to discuss changing that.
• And similarly, I will also remain a WHATWG administrator, mainly ensuring folks get invited to the WHATWG organization to make collaboration more straightforward.

I plan to continue being involved in developing the web platform and encouraging folks to leave their sense of logic at the door, but I suspect that until at least September or so I will be mostly otherwise occupied due to a mix of vacation and onboarding. A lot of that coincides with European vacation time so you might not end up noticing anything. If you do notice, reach out on WHATWG chat and presumably someone there can help you or at least provide some pointers. I expect to also check in on occasion.
