I’m moving to the UK
Back in April of this year I was made redundant from my job as a Software Test Engineer, it was a bit of a shock and it came out of the blue so was rather in shock. I tweeted that day I’d been made redundant and was looking for work and I was rather amazed at the responses I got. All good! But one of interest was Mark Taylor of Sirius sending me a direct message asking would I be interested in working in the UK. I didn’t need to think about it I knew I did and wanted something different. I met with Mark and the team at Sirius the following week as I was heading over to Oggcamp anyway.
Fast forward to last week and I get a mail out of the blue from Mark asking me would I like to work for Sirius. He explained to me what the role would entail and I knew instinctively it would be great and suited me. I will be working in marketing, meeting journalists, organising events and attending events all with the aim to promote open source.
When I come back from UDS I’ll be going across the water and moving to the UK and I’m really looking forward to it. Once I sort out a place to live and get settled in I’ll be mailing the UK list and seeing if anyone wants to meet up for an Ubuntu hour 🙂 be warned now I’m in close proximity I’ll be able to go to more events but also help out more.

Congratulations Laura!
I’m really pleased that you’ve found (or they found you) a job well suited to your talents.
It will be good to see you at more events as well.
Have you checked the supply of white chocolate over here? It might dictate where you decide to live 😉
