Today, Pierre-Alain Joye has fomally announced his "retirement" from working with the PEAR project as a lead developer. He's making a shift to work mainly towards other graphics/imaging work he's been developing and to continue work with his current extensions (and a few new ones on the way).   I spoke with him on some of the things that had lead up to making this decision and he mentioned it as a two-fold reason: one was some personal conflict between other PEAR developers and himself and the other an issue of time and interest in the project. He still wants to see it succeed, but just doesn't see the time in his life right now to do his part. Pierre will continue to work with the PECL extensions and on the PHP internals groups to help improve and develope them towards future versions. Some of the extensions he lists as the ones currently in his development are things like GD, xmlwriter, Zip (of course), and filter.   It is just a normal process, things and people change. I would have preferred a slower switch, as I was working on my leave (giving lead for many of my packages to other friends).   Pierre's PEAR work can be seen on this page of his blog and includes all of his PEAR and PECL work as well as PHP internals and Pimp/Cairo/GD development work.   You can also check out the decision in his own words over on his blog.

Damian Woetzel, a principal dancer at the New York City Ballet, said Monday he would retire at seasonâs end, making official what he had predicted a year ago. Mr. Woetzelâs final performance will be on June 18 after 23 years with the company. He earned a masterâs degree in public administration from Harvard University last year and is artistic director of the summer Vail International Dance Festival. Mr. Woetzel said it was fitting to leave as the company commemorates the 10th anniversary of the death of Jerome Robbins by featuring his choreography. âHis presence was the reason I joinedâ the company, Mr. Woetzel said. He said he will focus his energy âbeyond the limited space of performingâ in âareas where I hope to make an impact in the second part of my life.â.
