Going to work for the Tor Project

I have accepted a job with the Tor Project.

I joined XenSource to work on Xen in late 2007, as XenSource was being acquired by Citrix. So I have been at Citrix for about 14 years. I have really enjoyed working on Xen. There have been a variety of great people. I'm very proud of some of the things we built and achieved. I'm particularly proud of being part of a community that has provided the space for some of my excellent colleagues to really grow.

But the opportunity to go and work on a project I am so ideologically aligned with, and to work with Rust full-time, is too good to resist. That Tor is mostly written in C is quite terrifying, and I'm very happy that I'm going to help fix that!
