[CMC] FW: farewell

Mon May 13 21:37:40 EDT 2013

Dear Leo,

I have been missing you in our last meetings and, frankly speaking, it is sad to learn that you will not, in principle, 
be in our coming meetings.

Mike, took part of the words I would be addressing you now, and which reflect my feeling, as well. Your common
sense and clever objectiveness always added up solutions to our CMC forum, especially when apparent deadlocks 
seemed to round our discussions on important issues. From my part, thank you for your most valuable, firm and
serene contribution to our forum.

Accept my best wishes in your new initiative(s) and, yes, I hope I may be lucky to cross with you in a 
foreseeable future.

Sincerely, with my best and warm regards,
Eduardo
INPE/CCSDS

CMC Colleagues:  See the farewell message below from Leo Hartman, our long-time CSA representative to the CCSDS CMC.  Please join me in sending Leo the very best wishes in his future endeavors.  

Leo, I’ve always appreciated your support because of your common-sense approach and your deep technical expertise.  You always provided a logical, low-key route to the logical approach.  That was  why I was so happy to have you participate in the MOSSG telecons.  Your inputs there, in the CMC, and in the other forums will be sorely missed.  I’m sure you’ll be successful at whatever you decide to take on, but best of luck, anyway.   

À bientôt,

   -=- Mike

Mike Kearney

Hi Mike,

Please forward the message below to all our friends in CMC and CESG. 

By now all of you know that I am no longer working at the Canadian Space Agency and that I am no longer the CSA CMC representative. In response to ongoing annual budget cuts within the federal government it was decided to eliminate all the research positions at CSA, one of which was mine.

I have been participating in CCSDS for quite a while now and I consider that time to be a big part of my technical education. I have learned a lot from the exciting challenges and the creative solutions that come out in the CCSDS and space mission environment. Thanks for the opportunity to participate in all that and to learn from your many years of experience. Thanks also for all the social and personal time that goes along with hanging out at new and different places on the planet on a regular basis.   

I am looking forward to new work opportunities, of which I think there are more than a few. I am sure, however, that I will cross paths with many of you again since the Earth is such a small world. I am also looking forward to hearing about upcoming accomplishments (like end to end networking, mission planning and telerobotics) in CCSDS. Keep in touch. I can always be reached at "leo.hartman at gmail.com".

Au revoir (as they say in these parts),

Leo Hartman
