Hello Eric from France,
Thank you very much for the great job you've made all these years. I hope for you to quickly find a job which will suit you and what is better in your life.
Thank again.
Ps: sorry for my bad english.
Titiss.
I am new to LQ but not Slackware or Linux in general. But, AlienBob is a name I am familiar with and Highly respect the man behind it. I hope he has someone to operate his repos' and websites. Would miss them if they go away. One can't expect Eric to ignore his family and so forth. His work and zeal for Slackware is and always will be appreciated by Myself and I'm sure, many many others. Geez, my post makes it sound like the guy died. Sorry about that. It was not intentional. Hope everything works out for him.

I never said anything about stopping what I do for the community.
I will reduce the frequency of package updates, especially the big ones (vlc, libreoffice, chromium, Plasma 5 Desktop) but I will keep operating all my infrastructure as usual.
Well as a fellow Slackware user from India working in a US based company(not in tech support now though), it saddened me. But I think this is how it all works. Let just put it here honestly what's the first thing in my mind -
- Thank you big time.
- I'll try to do a good job everyday(lurking on LQ aside).
- Slackware is my man, for now and forever.
- You'll get an org worthy of your skills and they'll be fortunate to have you.
- Thank you in advance for when you'll be back with a new role.
- Good luck.

@travis82, personal attacks and foul language aren't acceptable here at LQ. @Darth Vader hateful speech isn't acceptable here at LQ. Please refrain from this moving forward. Best of luck, Eric.
Thank you for all your hard work over the years, Eric. I didn't realize you were a fellow IBM'er - well, I was only an intern, but I did spend 16 months there way back during the heyday of AIX helping to benchmark compilers.. It was where I learned Unix..
Tomorrow morning, second round of my first job interview. I have good hope, but it will take some more weeks to get through the process if I get hired.

*Shaking my head* Second round for you!! May be they want to learn more, that's why.
Well, For the first time I'd like to speak on LQ community's behalf - best of luck.
No, it is just a very elaborate procedure. First interview was with the hiring manager plus someone who is technically skilled (so he can see through the fakes). After passing the first interview, I did an online psych assessment (PAPI 3 and Logiks) followed tomorrow by a second interview; this time with the IT Director plus a HR representative, to discuss the outcome of the psych assessment. And finally a third interview with two senior managers to see if they can work with me. Only then, the company will decide on hiring me or not.
That 3rd interview is in 11 days from now.
This is for a cutting edge technology company.
