[midPoint] My engagement in midPoint development

[Martin Lízner - AMI Praha a.s.]

I might have got heartattack, first thinking this is good-bye letter and
you are leaving the project. What a relief to finish reading with you
staying in Evolveum! Good luck in management, hopefully you will find it
boring and return to the roots one day :-) I will miss your pirate stories
and briliant coding, but Im glad you leave dev in good hands of Katka and
Pavol. M.

> MidPoint project started eight years ago. The first code of midPoint
> project was committed in May 2011. MidPoint team started small, but we
> were working hard all the time. Now, eight years later, we have a very
> unique product. MidPoint is an open source system for identity
> management, governance, there are compliance and data protection
> features and we have quite ambitious plans for the future. Evolveum is
> still relatively small, but stable company. The business is going well
> and 2018 was the best year in Evolveum history.
>
> First of all I would like to thank you all. Even though majority of
> midPoint code is developed by the Evolveum team, midPoint is a result of
> cooperation of the entire midPoint community. MidPoint wouldn't be what
> it is without you. Your code contributions, ideas, feedback,
> translation, testing effort and all other kinds of contributions are
> crucial for success of midPoint. Thank you!
>
> We are all very happy how successful midPoint is. However, this success
> is based on a hard and persistent work. This work is not always just
> about the technology. There is a significant effort that Evolveum has to
> invest in non-technological tasks, such as planning, work coordination,
> communication with customers and even ordinary routine tasks of running
> a business. Evolveum grows every year, both in terms of amount of
> business and the number of employees.
>
> Since the beginning of Evolveum I was in charge of midPoint development
> in a role of software architect. I was enjoying that job immensely - and
> I still am. I'm completely dedicated to software engineering. However,
> as Evolveum founder and co-owner, I have to assume responsibilities for
> the entire company, not just the development of midPoint. I will have to
> dedicate much more time to leadership of the company. I'm quite sure
> some of you have noticed that I'm less active in day-to-day midPoint
> development. The reason for this is that my leadership-related tasks are
> taking more and more time. Therefore I have to re-prioritize my work. I
> will keep an oversight of midPoint architecture and development.
> However, my time as a hands-on midPoint developer will be very limited.
>
> I would like to use this opportunity to also announce some changes in
> midPoint development team. Two members of the development team are
> "promoted" to be in charge of midPoint architecture and development:
> Katka Valalikova and Pavol Mederly. Both of them will take significant
> part of my responsibilities. Katka will focus on the management and
> organizational part of the development, while Pavol will focus on
> software architecture of midPoint. But both of them are equal in their
> responsibilities. Both of them are crucial part of the development team
> from the early days. And I have no doubts that they will excel in their
> new role in the development team. Also, we will be gradually expanding
> the team with new developers to maintain our development capacity.
>
> This is both an exciting and a little sad moment for me. It is exciting
> because midPoint is great, Evolveum is successful and I see that my
> closer involvement in company leadership is the right thing to do.
> However, it is also a sad moment. I love software development. But a
> very little time will remain for me to get my hands dirty. Nevertheless,
> my choices are quite clear. I have to do what needs to be done. For the
> best of us all.
