All of AOS Australia gathered to pay tribute to Jamie Curmi for his years of distinguished service to the Company. Jamie joined AOS shortly after its inauguration and was instrumental in its rise to become the World's Number One Agent Solutions Provider.

"There was a mixture of sadness and celebration" said Barry Johnston, AOS's newly-appointed and esteemed Head of Planning and Delivery, who flew out specially from the UK.

"Jamie was an icon in the industry, his contributions to the field of Agents are monumental; as a master of the black art of agent-oriented design he touched the lives of a new generation of software engineers; he will be sorely missed; AOS has lost an inspirational leader and mentor" said Rick Evertsz, life-long friend and protégé.

You'll be interested to know that the dinner at the White Lotus was a great success and that no life was sacrificed during the preparation or consumption of the feast.

It is painful to see Jamie depart. Greatness in individuals is rare, and I'm sure he'll inspire in his new position working alongside another Great from the Agent-Oriented Hall of Fame.
