Luc-Eric Rousseau posted this in the Mailing List tonight, marking the end of the list and thus another nail in the proverbial coffin of Softimage...
Hi.
The 11th anniversary of the Softimage acquisition, and therefore this version of the list, has come and gone last month. I started working at Softimage in 1997, and it's been part of my life ever since. My black t-shirts are faded, and my children recently found some XSI "tattoos" and magnets in the basement which they used for Halloween. Odd bits of Softimage memorabilia are spread around the house that only Dad can identify.
Every once in a while, I can sense IT sniffing around looking for old servers to retire. The Softimage mailing list server is some kind of Linux VM that I think continues to work as long as it doesn't bother anyone.
I think it's time to think about switching the list over to the google group that archives it before the plug gets pulled on us. One would join that group to post and get future emails rather than the list. There may be other resources people want to share to stay in touch, such as LinkedIn groups, and si-community.com, etc.
Of course everyone still working with or interested in Softimage will remain welcome here for the time being...
