Thank you all for being awesome community leaders. I look forward to a better, more stable npm and an excellent node 1.0 release! :D

TJ works at Joyent, he has for some time, and was hired specifically to work on node core stuff.
Please don't charge for module usage. Perhaps a membership fee or donation structure? Do you know what the commercialization will look like?
Oh gosh, even I with my very low opinion about programming tools with a price tag can't imagine THAT. :)
I guess all that will remain free, only thing I am really worried about is a vendor lock. We kinda saw that already, but it might be worse.

He's been building releases, managing the test bots, fixing nasty bugs, and making decisions for the project with constant focus on the needs of our users. He was responsible for an update to MDB to support running ::findjsobjects on Linux core dumps, and is working on a shim layer that will provide a stable C interface for Node binary addons. In partnership with Joyent and The Node Firm, he's helped to create a path forward for scalable issue triaging. He's become the primary point of contact keeping us all driving the project forward together.

Effective immediately, TJ Fontaine is the Node.js project lead. I will remain a Node core committer, and expect to continue to contribute to the project in that role. My primary focus, however, will be npm.

I am starting a company, npm, Inc., to deliver new products and services related to npm. I'll be sharing many more details soon about exactly how this is going to work, and what we'll be offering. For now, suffice it to say that everything currently free will remain free, and everything currently flaky will get less flaky. Pursuing new revenue is how we can keep providing the npm registry service in a long-term sustainable way, and it has to be done very carefully so that we don't damage what we've all built together.

>>
>> TJ is exactly the leader who can help us take Node.js to 1.0 and beyond. He brings professionalism, rigor, and a continued focus on inclusive community values and culture. In the coming days, TJ will spell out his plans in greater detail. I look forward to the places that Node will go with his guidance.
... you can just take it easy and maybe eventually get a job where you use npm for work stuff also :)
