Hi everybody,
After 10 years of OpenStack, the time has come for me to move on to the next challenge. Actually, the time came a few weeks ago, but writing farewells has always been something I’m particularly bad at. My last day at Red Hat was actually July 31 and I’m now working in a non-OpenStack job.
I’m at a loss for words as to what more to say. I’ve never done anything for 10 years before, and I’ll be very surprised if I do anything else for 10 years again. While I’m excited about the new things on my plate, I’ll obviously miss everyone.
As I am no longer being paid by an OpenStack employer, I will not be doing any OpenStack things as part of my day job. I’m not sure how much spare time I’ll have to be able to contribute. I’m going to hold off on resigning core memberships pending a better understanding of that. I think it’s safe to assume I won’t be able to continue on as SDK PTL though.
I wish everyone all the best, and I hope life conspires to keep us all connected.
Thank you to everyone for an amazing 10 years.
Monty
Monty,
It has been a pleasure being in the community with you all these years and I can't even begin to count or describe all you've done for it.
Thank you for being a part of the journey and best wishes on your future endeavours.

Don't think this gets you out of coming to visit once the current crisis blows over!
Also, you won't be missed because I'll make sure to continue to pester you with absurd questions. After all, you know where all the bodies are buried.
Best of luck on your new gig!
Thanks a lot, Monty, for doing such a great job in and for the community.
We will terribly miss chatting with you on a daily basis, but the life goes on, as you said. Your heritage is so huge, that taking it over is not something easy :-)
Definitely all of us would be glad to keep you core as long as you want and as long as at all possible (even agains your wish).
Best regards in your new life section and hope to still have chance to have a beer with you in person.

Thanks for everything Monty.
It's been a pleasure working alongside you since first meeting in person at PyCon in Montreal, quite a long time ago. :)
Good luck with everything, and hope to see you in some way in the future :)

Monty,
It has been an absolute pleasure working with you, and I'm sure paths will cross again in the future. Even if it is for just a good cup of coffee or just a reunion of stackers.

Monty,
We'll miss you! Both for your technical excellence, and for the nicer person that you are. Good luck for whatever's next.

Oooh, wooow! You seemed a person who were going to be with OpenStack like… forever! Really sorry to hear your OpenStack time is about to end. Such a huge loss for us.
Anyway, I wish you all the best at whatever you’re going to do!
Thanks

Good luck in your future endeavors, Monty.
I traveled the world and the seven seas with you, from walking the streets of Jerusalem, to eating fries by the Ixelles ponds in Brussels, to drinking cocktails in a Dallas pool. Looking forward to when we can do that again!
Cheers,
Monty, it was a true pleasure having the opportunity to cross paths and collaborate with you. 10 years is a great run and we are richer for your contributions, best wishes for your next adventure =)
