This email went out today. 

Fellow MindTouchers -

It has been my pleasure working and getting to know all of you over the past six years, an incredible journey, which ends today. It’s with mixed emotions that I email you all with my farewell.  While I may be leaving, my admiration for MindTouch - the people, the product, and the experience -  will always be held dear to my heart.

In coming to this decision, and reflecting on the past, I'm taken aback by the enormity of our accomplishments. MindTouch took a simple idea and built an exceptional product and community experience.What was once a simple Mediawiki fork has become so much more - and our customers and millions of users who interact with our software on a daily basis are a testament to that.


I can't thank Steve and Aaron enough for the opportunity they gave me - I came in as just a software developer, and they provided the trust and support that me the professional growth to ship product, build teams, and be a part of something bigger than myself. For that, there's no way that words can express my gratitude to them. I am who I am professionally because of them, and I will eternally be in their debt.


I hope that I can remain in touch with all of you: for everything I love about MindTouch, I have loved the people the most. There's such a unique blend of smart, driven, and passionate people at this company, and I will be searching for a work environment with the same mix of people in the years to come.


My email address for anybody who wants to stay in touch is
royikim@gmail.com. I plan on staying in San Diego indefinitely, so I'll definitely swing by the office from time to time.

- Roy

Wow! Why are you leaving and what are you going to do now? At any rate, it's good you try something new.

This is too gracious. I recommend burning some bridges as you leave.
