I'm still waiting for an official indication that Director Dudas has left the Office. The absence of an official announcement to Office stakeholders, while not surprising, is a bit disconcerting. The blog post you reference is available somewhere on <a href="http://www.iam-magazine.com/blog/" rel="nofollow">this site</a>.

Jon is going to be here through the end of the administration (Jan. 20). Jan. 12 is actually a day we’ve arranged for a reception for employees to say farewell to him prior to his departure, but he is not leaving on that day." --and that the USPTO is closed on 19 and 20 Jan. 09.
