Today is John-Magne Bredal's last day at Uninett.
I would like to take the time to acknowledge and thank John-Magne Bredal for the work he has put into NAV for the past 16 years, both at NTNU and at Uninett.
He wrote his master's thesis on intrusion detection systems at NTNU under the guidance of Vidar Faltinsen, while at the same time working part-time on NAV development at the NTNU IT department. He graduated in 2002 and immediately started a full-time job at the NTNU IT department at the same time I did.
Although he was working mainly with security at the time, he kept on with NAV development, focusing on NAV's Cricket integration and SNMP trap daemon, moving on to creating the Arnold detention system.
While Uninett took charge of NAV development when I moved there in 2006, he kept on contributing from the NTNU side. He eventually moved on from the networking section to the software development section of the IT department, where he began honing his skills as a front end developer - skills he also put into practice in NAV development.
In 2012, John-Magne was finally hired by Uninett to work full-time on NAV development. Since 2012, John-Magne has helped architect the redesigned NAV 4.0, introduced the NAV API and otherwise put much time and effort into improving the NAV user experience.
Now, John-Magne is moving on to tackle the software needs of the Norwegian health sector, at Hemit, and I would like to wish him the best of luck!
You will be missed :-)
Very nicely put, Morten. So true. I copy. As I told you face-to-face, John Magne - you will definitely be missed. Thank you so much for all these years of impressive, reliable and to the point work for the best of NAV - the overall goal always being a reliable, proactively operated network infrastructure in higher education Norway (and elsewhere).
The best of luck! I am sure - your future is bright, John Magne. Wear shades.
cheers, - Vidar

Thank you!
It's been a long, fun and interesting journey. I sign off knowing that NAV is still in the best of hands. Keep the code flowing!
