Indeed a turning point, and I would expect nothing less than greatness. Perhaps we’ve become accustom? Paul, you’ve done an amazing job hell everyone has. I’m not the first and I won’t be the last to say it but a huge thanks to you and EllisLab. Derek? Well you sure have a behemoth task ahead, to fill Pauls boots, but I have faith. Good luck to you in your new role!
Safe travels, Paul - I can actually remember you joining as the the point at which Rick was able to stop personally sending hacks and fixes in the wee hours of the morning to importunate pMachine users like myself.
Best wishes for the new role, Derek, and we’ll maybe cut you a break for 24 hours or so before expecting the screencast of the new CTO dance.
Rick - onward! (Who said riding a tiger can’t be fun?)
I’m proud to be one of the few people who got to see Paul at work as an insider. I can affirm everything you think you know about him, hardworking, smart, wicked sense of humour - it was a privilege to work with you.
Derek Jones is perhaps the only person on the planet capable of stepping into this role and ensuring we don’t miss a beat - its a rare time in your life when someone you respect steps down, and someone you equally respect steps up. Good things remain ahead for EllisLab!
@Paul: We’ll miss your greatness, your strong personality and thanks so much for both.
@Derek: Congratulations, that nomination is no surprise to us as we witnessed so often your impressive skills .
Paul, may you be blessed in whatever future endevour you put your hand to. Thanks for contributing to a great product and facilitating the goals of so many others who use EE.
@Paul: Thanks for everything you have done and for helping me in the past when I got stuck. Keep entertaining us with your Flickr pictures and humor wherever life takes you.
@Derek: Congrats with your new role. I have my eye on you
Thank you all for your thoughts and comments. I definitely will still be around and coming into the forums every so often to see what shenanigans y’all are getting up to while I am off in the woods. Don’t have too much fun…
Paul - Like many others i am indebted to your help and assistance. First with pM pro and the with the mighty EE ... your help has been greatly appreciated. All the best in your new endeavors and adventures!
