Goodbye

[Marc Roos]

What a non-sense changing these words. Also hypocrite of Akamai, looking 
at the composition of the executive team.

I am at a loss for words.

 

I can’t contribute to a project that feels this way.  The OMC (list at 
[1], a picture of some of them at [2] although it includes non-OMC 
members) is, in my view, on the wrong side of history. I hope that in 
time, the four men who voted against it will develop more – what, 
empathy? – and that sometime in the future this PR [3], or similar, 
will be merged.  Until then, I will do what I have to in order to insure 
that Akamai’s needs for FIPS are met and once 3.0 is released, I will 
be fully applying my modest talents elsewhere.

 

I have closed all non-FIPS PR’s, and as soon as I see this message in 
my inbox, I will unsubscribe from this list. I can be reached as rsalz 
at akamai.com.
