Today my manager and I announced my upcoming departure from Mozilla. I’ve only worked there a short while, so this feels really abrupt to me, as I’m sure it does to the many Mozillians that I work with every day. Because ultimately the details of my departure and the various decisions leading up to it are private, and I don’t want to say anything that might be misconstrued or misinterpreted, I won’t get into that sort of thing here.

The Internet changed yesterday. Did you notice? If not, we did it right. Mozilla was one of hundreds of participants in World IPv6 Day, both “the largest experiment in Internet history” and “the nerdiest holiday ever”. Mozilla added IPv6 connectivity to the following sites: www.mozilla.org www.mozilla.com wiki.mozilla.org addons.mozilla.org In addition, we’ve been running IPv6 on our desktops, laptops, and other devices in our Mountain View, CA office for several months.

I announced to my manager a couple of weeks ago that I’d be leaving Yahoo! on March 3. Yesterday I informed the rest of my team. The final decision to leave has been surprisingly difficult, and still has me feeling very unsettled. I came to Yahoo! just over a year ago, after almost 10 years at my previous job. Leaving after such a short time is strange, especially since there is a whole lot of stuff left for me to learn and do.
