Meta-Announcements
Staff changes in the NCSA Software Development Group.
We are pleased to welcome Larry Jackson, who comes to us from General
Dynamics in Newport, RI, to the NCSA Software Development Group. Larry
will join the NCSA team as technical manager for an expanded NCSA Mosaic
and cyberspace tools effort.
Eric Bina, Aleks Totic, and Jon Mittelhauser, excellent programmers all,
will be leaving at the end of April to pursue opportunities in the
commercial world. Eric, Aleks, and Jon have made significant contributions
to NCSA Mosaic in particular, and the cyberspace community in general. We
wish them all the very best in their new ventures.
Dave Thompson, author of NCSA Collage and NCSA X-Image, will be moving onto
the NCSA Mosaic team. Dave has enormous experience with X windows system
development and networked environments, and was the person who first
introduced the SDG to the World Wide Web. Look for Dave in cyberspace.
We will keep you posted as others in SDG, and other parts of NCSA, move
onto cyberspace tools projects as we expand these efforts. We want to
thank everyone for their expressions of support for our work, and the great
reception it continues to receive. The next releases will be hitting the
net this summer, and we look forward to a new generation of net-based
capabilities.
And, NCSA is happy to announce that we are looking for a few good men and
women to work on the next generation of cyberspace software. If you would
like to be a part of a great team, and help us pursue our public service
and technology development missions, then we would be glad to hear from
you. Here is more info on the
position, and how to apply.
