Yes, David Helgason announced that he will be stepping down from CEO to take up another role at Unity. John Riccitiello, probably best known as the COO and then CEO of EA Games, has been part of Unity's board of directors since last year and will now be taking over leadership from Helgason. In his announcement, Helgason assures everyone that he will still "be heavily involved with the company’s direction" and that the change in leadership will not have any negative impacts on Unity's strategic vision.Welcome our new CEO John Riccitiello! @davidhelgason is going back to what he loves most at Unity http://t.co/yiQeXiDJ1S #unity3d

Rami Ismail announced that distribute() has opened up alpha access. A much anticipated project, over 150 developers and 100 press members had signed up within 3 hours of launch according to a post on its Twitter feed. A few "coming soon" feature teasers have also been mentioned which I think sound really interesting. I can't wait!Developers, you can now sign up for alpha access to @dodistribute. http://t.co/VqEm89YWHl
