Stephen Spector, a great community leader for the Xen community for many years now, has left his position to become the community manager at Rackspace Hosting.  If you've followed the Xen community for any period of time, you'll know how much time and effort Stephen put into that Web site and the community.  He has done a fantastic job being an ambassador for Xen, and I can't wait to see what he does for Rackspace.  Congratulations on the new position Stephen.  I know the Xen community will miss you.

His last words of departure on the Xen.org site reads: 

It is with great reluctance that I announce my departure from Xen.org as your community manager. Working with the many community members from around the world over the past three years has been a highlight in my career and I have learned so much from you that I can’t possibly thank you enough. Xen.org has an amazing group of dedicated developers, testers, administrators, champions, and technologists that together have created one of the great open source solutions available currently being leveraged by hundreds of millions of people. Having the opportunity to contribute my small part toward this great community was a privilege for me.

My last day as your community manager is September 10th at which time I will send my final blog posting. Although I am leaving Xen.org, I still expect to stay in close contact with the community in my new position. I look forward to watching Xen.org continue to grow and revolutionize the virtualization industry although I will be on the outside looking in.

Once again, thank you for your great support and commitment to Xen.org.
