Alex Martelli stated on the thread:

I don't think there was any official announcement, but it's true -- he
sits about 15 meters away from me;-).


I'm happy and excited for Guido. I'm interested to hear what exactly he'll be working on over there and how this could impact Python. Maybe it's my optimism kicking in, but I expect it will be positive for the community. I'm sure people can point to an incident here or there where Google has been questionable in its "don't be evil" motto, but I believe that overall, they're doing a good job of maintaining credibility.

Anyway, congrats, Guido!
