Hi Bruno,
I wish to express my huge respect for you due to your unmatched, selfless contribution and high thinking. My wishes for your better health.

Hey Bruno!
I confesse I was about to send you a private message asking your help, but then somehow I came to this post and realized you retired because of health reasons.

Well,
I just want to thank you very very much for all of your efforts and the herculean task that is to reply on this forum as an hobby expecting "nothing" in reward.

I had the privilege of meeting you in the 3rd OpenFOAM Iberian Meeting at Porto, and there I could assess what a great person you are.

Regarding your health issues, I really hope that you can recover from your burning-out situation. I personally suffer, from time to time, nervous issues as well. May be that's a side effect of OpenFOAM users

Anyway,
I really support your decision of a full disconnection from the forum, so you can dedicate more time to your personal life. I really hope you get well soon.

Grande abraço,
Jorge Gadelho.

Hi Bruno,

Thank you for being such a great person, which is clear not only on the immense contributions to the community, but also by your concern to justify the absence of news.

As many Foamers I first met you in CFD Online, but I had the privilege to work with you in many occasions. Several "adventures" where I witnessed that in person you don't change a bit, you have exactly the same posture everyone knows from CFD Online.

Currently you have to focus in you, to get better asap. Feel free to ask if I can be useful in anything.


Even if you don't put any other post in CFD Online, based on your legacy, you'll be the, and our, champion for a long time.

We'll miss you, but I'm sure that everyone prefers to have a healthy Wyldckat than another post from you.


Please do your best to enjoy life, be happy and stay safe



Your very honored friend,


Miguel

Hey Bruno, thank you very much for your open-minded way to talk about your private life. I hope that we will meet somewhen in person again as I really liked your presents in the OpenFOAM Day in London.

I am glad that you decided to make a step back from the community support as you did a lot of support. We, the community, were sometimes talking about your name »wyldckat« and we assuming that each letter stands for one person behind the accronym as there were so many posts everywhere from your side on cfd-online.

You posts were always an unjustified enrichment for everybody (not only the thread-starter). You put »always« lot of time and effort in your reply's and if your reply was not good enough (for you) you extended it a few ours ago with new tests and outcomes.

Take care of yourself Bruno. You know my personal behavior too and I have the feeling to go more-or-less your way with additional private circumstance load. I also do have the feeling to not have enough time to do that or investigate into that. Nevertheless, I never had such a intensive community presence as you have/had.


Be aware that your posts and your ideas/thoughts were helpful for a lot of people who are reading through the forum, and they will be helpful for everybody in future.

You set the basic and fundamentals of many questions in this forum. At least, I have the feeling regarding this and we, the community, will give you value to everything your made an also to your personality.

Again, take care of yourself and your health.
May we meet somewhere someone again. I hope so.

Tobi

Hi,

I still remember you were the first one to reply when I posted first time in the form. It was a stupid question but you still answered it. That bought enthusism in me to look for more. Now due to OpenFOAM I work in my Uni and can afford to fund my studies. Like wise I beleve that you have helped many directly or indirectly just by one post to change their career.

In one word THANKYOU

I want to open a terminal without sourcing OpenFoam's bashrc. What should I do?
I have tried bash --norc , $ bash --noprofile --norc and env -i bash --rcfile /etc/profile, but non of them worked

Your first post on OpenFOAM was: post #113 in January 14th, 2009

Today 21 April 2018 you have a reputation power: 113!

you are one of a kind. a walking talking and hadcore debugging LEGEND.....what would this forum do without you???

Thank you Bruno!

Hi Bruno! I am working with OpenFOAM for three years somehow a newcomer . I would like to participate in documentation of parallelization in OpenFOAM. I'm particularly interested in application of parallel computation in FsiFoam.
