Exciting times
Big announcement time.
I’m excited to say, it’s time for my next big move. The time has come for me to pursue new professional challenges. I'm thrilled to announce that I'm joining Canonical as an Engineering Manager.
I leave Octality with a heavy heart. It definitely has been a once in a lifetime experience. I will always carry the outstanding positive experiences and insightful lessons learned through the last three and a half years.
When I first thought about the opportunity of joining Canonical, I was immediately attracted by the idea of working at such an innovative company. Canonical has so much potential and such a global reach. Canonical has done decisive work improving the "Linux experience", and thus to bring F/OSS to a whole lot of people over the past few years.
I am delighted to be welcomed to this first-class team. It's great to have the chance to get my fingers back in the pie with the latest Open Source technology, especially since it is with the already stellar team at Canonical.
This will be an awesome ride. Woo hoo!
Exciting times.

HEYY!!!! FELICIDADES !! que magnifica noticia para iniciar la semana que vas a hacer por alla acaso Cherokee como default en los servicios de Canonical y en Ubuntu ?? QUE BIEN .. Felicidades
Congrats!
As both a heavy Cherokee deployer and Ubuntu user, I'm happy you're moving up but I'm concerned for the future of Cherokee. Is it going to keep being developed?
Oli - You can bet on it!
Hmm, haven't you been rather vocally critical of Ubuntu in the past...?
Xyzzy - No, certainly not. You must be confusing me with someone else :-)
@Xyzzy Who hasn't? But seriously anybody who has spent enough time working with Ubuntu; enough, that is, to form a well informed opinion; will have complaints. The same is true for most things in life. If Alvaro has had complaints (and I'm not sure that he has), he now has the opportunity to fix things from inside. :)
Felicidades! la mejor de las suertes
Congrats!! Remember to sell your macbook before going to canonical ;-)
John: Hehe.. Isn't it enough to get Ubuntu installed on it? I fancy the hardware and keyboard layout, actually ;-)
I can totally picture it: "I'll give you my MacBook Air when you take it from my cold, dead hands." - Alvaro Lopez, UDS-P, Orlando, 2011
@Alvaro: No, is not enough, cause you'll notice that ubuntu (or any linux distro) does not work very well on the macbook air, specially with the video card resolution (native resolution not supported on the last macbook air, check ubuntuforums), so my advice is to virtualize (what a shame) or buy a dell.
Mmmm, why don't you mention your worked in mgmedia? :-S
Congratulations Alvaro - I wish you all the best at Canonical! I hope that this isn't the end of Cherokee though, it's such a great project.
