Changes in the Cobia community

As with most anything in life, change is inevitable and that’s true in the Cobia community too. This week Martin McKeay let me know that he has decided to take his career back onto the non-vendor side of the fence, and he would like to step down as the Cobia evangelist. That was hard for me to hear because I enjoy working with Martin and I hold him in very high regard. Making a tough decision such as this re-enforces the respect I have for Martin too. I know that Martin should of course pursue the interests that make the most sense for him, and I also know I’ll miss working with him on the Cobia team. We appreciate Martin’s help building the Cobia community, evangelizing Cobia at trade show events, and reaching out to various Cobia users and user groups. Thank you Martin - we’ll all continue enjoy keeping in touch with you through the blogosphere and your podcasting.

The StillSecure team and I will continue where Martin left off, working with Cobia users, supporting user groups and helping networking, sys admin and security engineers all over the world enjoy and use Cobia. We have some exciting new events coming up in the next few weeks and of course there’s lots of user and development activity happening in the world of Cobia.

I will continue as the primary contact for Cobia at StillSecure so please send me email at [email protected] for the latest in Cobia developments, activities, questions, and feedback. Each day I hear from more and more Cobia users sharing with me how Cobia helps them with their networks. It is an exciting time to  be a part of such an important, game changing product like Cobia.

Keep those cards, letters, emails and forum posts coming!

Thanks - Mitchell
