Farewell Juan!

Juan Gonzalez announced that today is his last day as a Liferay employee. While he’ll still be part of the Liferay community, I think this is a nice opportunity for us to thank him for his work at Liferay and to wish him well on his next endeavor.

Juan,
After working with you for several years, I’m sad to see you go. You’re an incredibly passionate and hard worker. Thanks to your dedication, Liferay 7 correctly supports several servlet features (many of which were required for Liferay Faces to be compatible with Liferay 7). Thanks to your passion, Liferay Faces developers can access portal taglib features through tags like portal:inputSearch (not to mention all the Liferay Faces Portal bugs you’ve fixed). Thanks to your involment in the forums, countless people in the Liferay community have had their problems solved (you’ve written almost 3k posts and are user #4 overall).

Juan, the Liferay community, the Liferay Faces project, and Liferay itself would not be nearly as great without your contributions. And I’ve personally admired and sought to emulate your productivity, passion, and community involvement. Thanks for all your hard work!

Farewell Juan!
