Hello, Enyo developers.

Friday was my last day with LG Electronics; I've left to pursue a new opportunity with Roku working on new product development here in Austin, TX.

I consider Enyo to be a great product, a result of excellent architecture work by the original developers and a very thoughtful and innovative evolution of features.  I'm really proud of what we did in the last year under LG, and I'm looking forward to the Enyo and webOS-powered LG SmartTVs hitting the US market soon.

The good news is that LG is still fielding a great Enyo team with a bunch of great developers that are keeping the work going, including Gray Norton, Kevin Schaaf, Cole Davis, Blake Stephens, Aaron Tam, Jim Tang, and Lex Podgorny, as well as the LG teams from TV Lab in Korea. Look for their input here as part of our public Enyo conversation; I expect great things to come.

I'd also like to recognize all the wonderful input from the community; your pull requests and questions have made Enyo development much more enjoyable, and I'll miss working with you.

I'm still going to follow this email list and check up on things from time to time, but I'm no longer speaking in my role as project lead, just as team member emeritus.  My day-to-day work is going to involve firmware development for embedded hardware, so I won't be spending too much time in the web development world.

Thanks, and best wishes to you all!

Thanks for your work on Enyo and good luck at Roku! I'm sure you will do well.

Thanks a lot for the wonderful time Ben!

I hope to see you every now and then in the forum.

I wish you all the success in your new endeavour at Roku, it appears to be a great place!

PS: Will you post that blog post about Mochi?

Congratulations on the opportunity! Sounds like you'll get to work on some pretty cool projects. Hope to still see you around quite a bit, Enyo won't quite be the same without you around.

The Mochi post/release is up to Gray -- everything is staged, just waiting on them to flip the public bits.

Ask and you shall receive!

The Mochi repo is now public, along with the full UX designs (https://github.com/enyojs/mochi/wiki/Mochi-Designs).  As the blog post mentions, we don’t intend to devote a lot of time from the core team on Mochi, but we have lined up Herman van Hazendonk (@Herrie82) and Tom King (@ka6sox) to help manage public contributions and move the development on Mochi forward.

Hi Ben,

You will be greatly missed.  

With its true spirit of open source,  I hope Enyo continue to thrive from your remaining emeritus status on this great technology.

sad to see you go but I'm sure you'll continue to be awesome at Roku. Thanks for all your great work on Enyo!

Best,
Martin
