ReactOS takes another big hit



http://www.reactos.org/en/newsletter_25.html#sec1

For those that don't know, Alex Ionescu, the kernel coordinator, has
resigned. Alex first joined the project in 2004, around the 0.2.2
release. Since then, he's been at the center of quite a few squabbles
about how to code the kernel. However, Alex has also been responsible
for completely rewriting the kernel almost from the ground up. Today,
about 60% of the kernel code is probably his. The reason for Alex's
departure is because of his joining David Solomon's Expert Seminars as
an instructor. Because this job would place him in close contact with
many Microsoft programmers and also give him access to other Microsoft
properties, continuing with the project would have resulted in
possible conflicts of interest. Alex has also stated that he feels
he's done everything he can for ReactOS, as the components that still
need to be completed are those that he has little knowledge of. The
ReactOS community thanks Alex for everything he has done and we wish
him the best with his new career.

More details can be found on Alex's blog: http://www.alex-ionescu.com/?p=42

I guess the "assembly rebirth" has had yet another serious
setback. :-)
hLater,
