Cheer up, Rodrigo! I am confident the man of your energy and skills will be just fine, very soon.

Hopefully you won’t give up on GNOME

%&$#@*!
I’m sorry to hear this really bad news and I hope you find something soon. Although these are really bad times, I think your reputation precedes you and that’s always good. (Also; “karma points” work in mysterious ways).
Anyway; have a «chupito» of Patxaran (or whatever suits you better) and take that first step towards a new chapter of life.

I’ve just hear about your lay-off today. I’m really sorry. OTOH, well, this is the opportunity to explore other employments. I’d love to see you at GCDS. That could be a nice opportunity to close bussines deals too

And please don’t leave GNOME: you are an inspiration about what a hacker and community leader should be

Honestly, I’m certain that you will come back from this and make space for yourself without Novell. Free software developers have shown that they take initiative, are autonomous, and aren’t afraid to spend time on something they love, without thinking of how it will make them money.

In these times of uncertainty, being laid off is an opportunity in itself – have you considered setting yourself up as an independent, or starting a company? If not, I’d recommend that you spend as little time as possible at home – meet people hack on things that matter to you, and opportunities will present themselves.

Good luck!
Dave.

Yeah, and English it’s the same, right? I mean, if they need to lay off, why not lay off the people you’d like to fire. Although in this case it doesn’t match

Christoph: I’m more keen on Chinese martial arts, so learning that now, but as soon as I learn a bit more, I might try taekwondo, thanks for the advise. I find though taekwondo (or what I know about it) a bit more violent than what I like. But be sure I’ll try it sometime

Justin: yes, of course, companies are just a way to get paid for working on what I like, which is GNOME, and lately, openSUSE, so be sure I’ll continue involved.

Manuel: I’m already in Spain

And the others, thank you a lot guys, this is why I’ll keep working on GNOME/openSUSE (GNOME for sure, hope also for openSUSE, but it depends on what I get). It’s not only because the technology rocks, but specially because of the great people you meet

And yeah, sorry for the “fired” thing, in Spanish we use the same word (”echar”) for any kind of lay off/firing, so I got confused

Vaya Rodrigo!!! Lamento muchísimo, de veras, oir eso… :’-(
Solo espero y deseo que puedas encontrar rápida y facilmente otro trabajo (que imagino que no deberá costarte nada). Te diría que te vinieses a España, pero por aquí está la jodida crisis mal y no se cómo lo tendrías. Pero si vinieses y fuese por Barcelona, no dudes en contactar conmigo.

Mis mejores deseos Rodrigo. Un fuerte abrazo desde España.

Have a nice day
