Charles Sterling has pointed out that John Bristowe has joined a Microsoft DPE team in Canada. To be honest I’m a little disappointed that I didn’t manage to convince John to move back to Australia and join Readify but this is a fantastic opportunity for him – he’s a super smart guy with a real passion for Microsoft developer technologies.

For those of you who don’t know John. He co-founded the Melbourne .NET User Group with me a long time ago and in many ways he was the rock that made sure that it happened from month to month in those early days. John later moved to Chicago to work with ESS and then back to Canada (wsa:CountryOfBirth ).

Anyway – I just want to wish John the best of luck, you were made for the job!
