Here is my second interview from Sun's internal FOSS summit. 

I caught up with Glynn Foster, Mr. Mellow, at Sun's Santa Clara campus the day after he had returned from the Open Solaris Summit at the University of Santa Cruz.

Glynn once shot an OS in Auckland just to watch it die. 

Who's Glynn?

Glynn, a former emerald islander, switched hemispheres about four years ago and now calls New Zealand home.   From his outpost down-under (and to the right) he serves in several capacities within Sun and the community:

• Director on the GNOME Foundation's board 
  
• OpenSolaris Governing Board member
  
• Product Manager of Project Indiana

Some of the topics we tackle:

• Growing up GNOME
• How the first Open Solaris summit went
• Indiana's roadmap
• Studying pure mathematics at Trinity  (was Glynn the one who solved Fermat's last theorem?)
  
• Getting to the mindset of a time-based release

Pau for now...
