Re: [PyMOL] Farewell

[Thomas H. <tho...@sc...>]

Dear Jason,

thank you so much for you deep commitment and your invaluable contributions to PyMOL and the PyMOL community. You assumed responsibility for PyMOL and managed to give it a new home at Schrödinger. We are sorry to see you leave and will truly miss you here.

To me personally, you have been a great mentor and guide and I can hardly enumerate what I learned from you. I owe you deep gratitude.

It is my honour to now take the lead on PyMOL and serve the community and our sponsors as best as I can. The PyMOL team at Schrödinger is strongly dedicated to continuously improve PyMOL and keep the PyMOL spirit alive.

Cheers,
  Thomas

I have recently been given an offer I can't refuse—to follow one of my dreams—helping lead technology and science at a new startup. March 30th marked my last day at Schrödinger and supporting PyMOL.

I started the PyMOLWiki in 2005 and since then it's been visited over 15,289,590 times! (If you would like to sponsor or host the wiki feel free to email me.) Now I can't imagine the PyMOL community without it.
