As of last week, I have joined ESI Group (https://www.esi-group.com).
ESI is a leading innovator in virtual prototyping software and
services and has also managed the development of Scilab since February
2017.
This is an exciting opportunity for me. I remain focused on improving
Octave and making it an excellent platform for numerical computations.
With ESI I will continue doing general development, supporting
customer's needs, and exploring ways for Octave and Scilab to benefit
one another.
If you would like to know more about ESI's involvement with Scilab,
you can read the announcement of that acquisition here:

Congratulations, they seem like an interesting, progressive company.
What is the extent to which you will be able to work on Octave? Is it
full-time working on the core and addressing specific feature requests?
Is it more like Google where you will have a day a week to devote to
your own interests? Or is it a regular programming job, but nights and
weekends are your own time?
Best regards,
Rik
