As some of you know, my wife and I own property in Central America and have worked for the last few years toward building a home there. We are now in a position where we can begin construction, and that will require a lot of time on site and a great deal of travel.
Since my role in vBulletin can't reasonably be filled from 3,000 miles away, the time has come for me to transition various responsibilities to my teammates. I will be with Team vB through this Friday, December 11.
These changes will not directly affect vBulletin customers. The rest of the team remains intact, and the most important things are not changing:
Kevin Sours will continue to run vBulletin's large Engineering group, with backup from Joe Rosenblum, Internet Brands's CTO.
Don Kuramura will continue to be responsible for Product Management, strategy, and business development.
Steve Machol will continue managing the Support team, with backup from Jennifer Rundell, Internet Brands's VP of Content.
The path to building 4.0 out the door has been incredibly exciting, and all the more so to have done it alongside such a smart and dedicated team. (Each of them has a standing invitation to visit Lake Arenal!)
vBulletin is in very capable hands. The imminent release of 4.0 is just the beginning of some very exciting things ahead. The Internet evolves quickly, so in addition to new things like the Content Publishing Suite, Team vB are working on even bigger expansions, like products and services for big-board customers, vB for mobile, and more.
Again, a heartfelt thank you to the vBulletin community for all of your support.
