Almost exactly 3 years since his first core contribution was committed, WordPress core developer, Daryl “Koop” Koopersmith, announced in a tweet that today is his last day at Automattic.
Today is my last day at @automattic. It’s been a wondrous ride, and I’m excited to see where life takes me next.

Koop was the leading developer for the front end of the new media uploader in the recently released WordPress 3.5. He has said he isn’t sure what he’ll do next, besides a little time to relax over the holiday season. But he did say he’ll still be hanging around the WordPress community:
In my free time, I’ll continue to float around WordPress community. Don’t be strangers.

I’m sure we all wish Koop the best with whatever he does next. His contributions to WordPress have been greatly appreciated, and he’s definitely left his mark on our favourite piece of web software.
Thanks, Koop! See you around Trac 😉
