Hello everybody,

I have really enjoyed working with tiOPF for 15+ years and have written tons of database and non-database applications that used tiOPF. It was also the project that introduced me to Design Patterns and Test Driven Development, and I'll forever be grateful for that.

However, due to the decline in Delphi/Object Pascal popularity for paid work (at least here in the UK), I've moved full time to another programming language. With that, I feel it is time to hand over the reins to someone else that still uses Delphi/Object Pascal on a daily basis. So if you feel up to the challenge and don't want to see a great project become abandon-ware, please let me know.

I'll keep running the support newsgroup - I have no intention in stopping that. I'll also continue running the daily/hourly unit tests for tiOPF as it is fully automated anyway. I'll also still be around to answer questions, but will be moving away from maintenance and new development work for tiOPF and tiOPF related utility applications.

So if you have any interest in keeping tiOPF alive, please contact me here or in private.

ps:
If I've done it correctly, all replies should go to the fpc-other mailing list.

Regards,
- Graeme -

Graeme,

what's the programming language you have moved to? Good luck and best wishes for this new episode in your career.
