As of October 1st, I will no longer be working for Georgia Tech. I turned in my notice on Thursday morning.<\/p>\n

On October 15th, I’ll starting the next stage of my life with Talis<\/a>. My job title embarrasses me a bit, so I’m not going to put it here, but my job centers around interoperability, standards and creating communities to support those initiatives both inside Talis and especially outside.<\/p>\n

It’s bittersweet to leave to Tech. The library has made everything I’ve done possible and I am very grateful for that. That being said, it was probably time to move on (although six months ago, I cannot ever imagine having written that phrase).<\/p>\n

I am really looking forward to Talis; not only do I think the work they’re doing is exciting and innovative, but, in my opinion, I think it’s the only way to push major ideas into libraries. Libraries are generally too risk-averse to look at the interesting things their peers are doing and adopt them. My work at Tech doesn’t show up in many places outside of Tech. It never will.<\/p>\n

Talis also affords me the opportunity to work from home which allows us to live anywhere. Our hope is to move to Chattanooga<\/a>, but it may be a while, with the housing market as it is.<\/p>\n

Don’t worry, I don’t foresee myself becoming a Platform marketer (although the Platform will undoubtedly come up, I mean, let’s be realistic, it’s what Talis is staking their future on) and I hope that joining ranks with a vendor doesn’t alienate me from my colleagues and conspirators.<\/p>\n

The next month will be busy, as I try to polish off my fingerprints that are all over Tech’s technical infrastructure and document and mainstream my various projects that are just shy of production status, but I will try to write more about my thoughts on this soon.<\/p>\n

Here’s to big, life-altering changes!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
