Rudolf Cornelissen, developer of the Haiku nVidia driver (and nVida 3d driver, and Haiku Matrox driver, and more other projects than I can count), has posted on his blog that he plans to take a hiatus from computers and BeOS-related development (first reported by HaikuNews and IsComputerOn). He still plans to finish up a few bits and pieces of existing projects, and perform regular maintenance on some of the video drivers he’s written – and the post also mentions that he would eventually like to to hand those projects over to other maintainers.

There aren’t many folks who can claim to have put as much time and effort into BeOS-related development as Rudolf can, and I think that the BeOS community is unanimous in offering their thanks and wishing him the best of luck in re-discovering life away from the computer. BeOS-related news will seem much more boring without the weekly “new-cool-thing-from-Rudolf.”
