Over at the StatusNet blog, I just announced my role in launching some big things with Evan, Brion and crew! Here is a snippet, but please read the rest over at StatusNet blog:

Many of you know me as @REJON, my past endeavours growing the open source drawing app, Inkscape, the Open Clip Art Library, Libre Graphics Meeting, making soundsystems and using Identi.ca as my social playground. Most connect to me here as the Creative Commons Community and Business Development Manager where I hacked, started Creative Commons Salons with Eric Steuer, and served as human inbox for Google, Yahoo, Apple, and other organizations for CC. I still lock-down a title as a fellow at Creative Commons, and am still working on various international initiatives with CC in the Middle-East and Asia. We all love CC!
[ Many of you know me as this disembodied head. I actually smile much more like the photo at the top ]Without further intro, and as Evan mentioned previously, I’m pleased to announce that I’m immediately taking on a role as Community Consultant for Status.Net to ramp up and help with some large projects Status.Net is building, including an upcoming relaunch and adding capacity to fun roles that Evan had been doing Han Solo. By becoming part of the Status.Net all-stars, Evan will be freed up to be uber-CEO rather than having to wear 50 different hats.

Congrats, sir! I read about Status.net in RWW several months ago and have used their article as the underlying basis for my “Learn to tweet” warnings to naysaying colleagues in my several professions. Either way, keep up the great work, Jon!
