[edk2] Farewell - last days at ARM Ltd

[Olivier Martin]

For people who does not know me I have been the EDK2 maintainer of the ARM Packages for the last 4 years. I took over the excellent work Andrew Fish and Eugene Cohen started few years before.

This week was my last week at ARM - my last day would be on Friday 17th (UK time). I have been learning a lot thanks to the UEFI community.
Being the ARM maintainer has been a great opportunity. I also had the chance to go to few conferences to discuss and present my work and meet few of you as part of my job.

I have been asked last week what is the new exciting place that makes me leave ARM. The answer is my own future start-up... I love challenges and I think this one is definitely one of the highest one I could find. It is actually quite scary but I am quite excited!

I could potentially have kept my role of EDK2 ARM maintainer with me but I would prefer to give the task to Leif Lindholm who has been a co-maintainer for almost two months. So I could fully focus on my new adventure.
Leif has been seating not far from me in the ARM office. We have also had regular meetings about UEFI. He has been at ARM Ltd longer than me and been involved in different Open Source projects. He has also been working on UEFI for Linaro for few (three?) years now.

I have been trying to publish as much work as I can on the work I have done on UEFI for the last 5 years and half at ARM Ltd in the last two weeks. Unfortunately, I am not sure I will have time to publish everything. But I will do my best to publish the most important bits...

Unfortunately, it is still too early to share more details about my future product, so I created a quick website (and found a neutral name) last week-end to allow people to follow the adventure: http://labapart.com/ (can either be pronounced as "Lab apart" or "Lab à Part").

If you would like to contact me, email me here: ***@gmail.com and/or linkedin me: http://www.linkedin.com/in/olivierm.

Cheers,
Olivier

Hi Olivier,

For people who does not know me I have been the EDK2 maintainer of
the ARM Packages for the last 4 years. I took over the excellent work
Andrew Fish and Eugene Cohen started few years before.
This week was my last week at ARM - my last day would be on Friday
17th (UK time). I have been learning a lot thanks to the UEFI
community.
Being the ARM maintainer has been a great opportunity. I also had the
chance to go to few conferences to discuss and present my work and
meet few of you as part of my job.
I have been asked last week what is the new exciting place that makes

challenges and I think this one is definitely one of the highest one
I could find. It is actually quite scary but I am quite excited!
I could potentially have kept my role of EDK2 ARM maintainer with me
but I would prefer to give the task to Leif Lindholm who has been a
co-maintainer for almost two months. So I could fully focus on my new
adventure.
Leif has been seating not far from me in the ARM office. We have also

Thank you for your reviews, your contributions to OvmfPkg, and the
documentation you wrote for the wiki (docs are important!). Best of luck
with your startup!
