President and COO of Sun Federal Bill Vass' Weblog

Friday Apr 04, 2008

Lots of excitement during these early spring days in Washington, DC. Last week our very own Peter Korn was recognized at the Fed 100 for his dedication to Section 508 accessibility standards of the Federal Rehabilitation Act and the Section 255 accessibility guidelines of the Telecommunications Act.


Then we had Project Blackbox in the south parking lot of The Pentagon for two days, where we provided tours non-stop from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. to numerous government officials. And now we just learned that Project Blackbox received a Best of FOSE award.


This week Scott McNealy keynoted at FOSE about Sun's open source strategy and did a great job of explaining how the more Sun open sources, the better our software revenue becomes, and the more our customers save by using open source products.


Lastly, I had lunch with my old friend David Wennergren from OSD. He continues to be very supportive of the open source initiatives he started while he was at the Navy. I hope to see more support coming from OSD in the future from a policy point of view.


Can't wait to see what the summer months hold for SunFed, but right now I'm heading back to California...glad I got to see the Cherry Blossoms this trip.
