I'm trying to say that they are linked through an underlying cause. Pornel says it much better than me in his comment though.
Jon's closing email is also quite telling:
Dear All,
It is with a heavy heart that I send this message. Next week will be my last
at Opera. It has become clear that The Board, Management and I do not share
the same values and we do not have the same opinions on how to keep evolving
Opera. As a result I have come to an agreement with the Board to end my time
at Opera. I feel the Board and Management is more quarterly focused than me.
I have always worked to build the company for the future. I believe the
foundation we have is very solid to build further upon.
I do believe strongly in Opera as a company, and in all of you working here.
Our products actually make a difference for a lot of people in the world, and
I wish you all the best of luck moving forward. I will be following the
company closely and rooting for you all.
Yours truly, Jon.
- Indyan 14y agoIn that email he was probably referring to the direction the board wanted to take Opera in. There has been consistent speculation that Opera's board wanted to make Opera better suited for sale, and was looking forward to getting acquired by someone with deeper pockets. JvT of course, wanted to stay independent and continue to innovate. Related: http://techie-buzz.com/opera/opera-tetzchner-reacts.html http://techie-buzz.com/opera/opera-tetzchner-reacts.html
