Edward Z88 Posted Thursday at 05:40 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 05:40 PM Dear All, After over seven years, and over 3,000 forum posts, it is time for me to say farewell to my time at Zero 88 (now Vari-Lite). Working for Zero 88 has been a pleasure, and I have thoroughly enjoyed being part of this active group of forum members. We were on ZerOS version 7.9.2 when I joined, and FLX S wasn't even around yet. Since then, ZerOS has come a long way, and is now more stable and feature-rich than ever. The ZerOS online manual, plus all the ZerOS training videos, mean that all aspects of ZerOS are now documented to enable users to get the most out of their consoles. I want to say a massive public thank you to @Jon Hole. Over these years he has been a brilliant mentor and friend (and my manager for a period of time!), and was instrumental in me getting into my role at Zero 88 in the first place. Jon and I will of course keep in touch, and hopefully work together again some time in the future. So, I'll type ENTER ENTER @ . RECORD ENTER, and record a fade to black on this chapter. Thanks again to everyone. I really have enjoyed my role. Edward 2 1 Quote Edward Smith Product Specialist Email Support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgallen Posted Thursday at 07:04 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 07:04 PM Oh... 😞 But congratulations! You chaps have had admirable sticking power over the years and many changes at what "was" Zero88. I thank you for your support, help and professional friendship over these years and wish you all the best for the future! Hopefully you are staying in the wider industry so might still "see you around"? I do seriously fear for the brand now though. It would be quite understandable that Jon might consider his future with the loss of several of the core "team". I would but hope he choses to stick around but it must weigh on his mind. Kindest, Kevin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like... will I EVER get the opportunity to launch ZerOS 8? Or... is there still an Elf laying around the Cwmbran factory somewhere? Or... will Tyler ever learn to correctly pronounce Advent Calendar? 1 1 Quote Jon Hole Global Product Manager, Systems and Control Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob McDonald Posted yesterday at 12:08 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 12:08 AM You always knocked up a fixture profile so quick, and your advice was worth its weight in gold. I sincerely hope Veri Lite realize what they are losing. I hope you remain in the industry, you are too good to lose. Thank you so much for all the support you have given me and ultimately the theatre group and audiences who benefited from it. All the best Edward.
