Richard will take over as technical editor of LSi from James Eade, who has helped the PLASA Media team steer the technical content of LSI for the past nine years. Although Richard officially started with PLASA Media on 1 March, there will be a longer hand-over of duties with James. Both the March and April 2011 issues of LSi will see James's input as technical editor, and Richard's first contribution to the magazine will appear in the May issue.
Lee Baldock, editor of LSi since 2004, said: "James has made a huge contribution to the technical content of LSi over the years. I personally would like to thank him for all his help and guidance over that time. Bringing in a full-time technical editor to work across our respective titles is a necessary step at this stage of our developing business, but Richard will be able to build on a reputation for quality technical content that has been established with James's input since the first Technical Focus appeared in 2002."
James will continue to work with PLASA on various technical standards groups, and occasionally to contribute technical content to LSi magazine. His first priority, however, will be the continued progress of his own consultancy work.
