After 6 1/2 years at Sun I am leaving to work with the folks at Canonical to help them in their efforts to spread the open source Ubuntu Linux operating system.  At Sun I started in the telco group and from there worked with Java ME, Java EE, GlassFish and Open Source. Along the way I've worked with and for some wonderful people who helped me navigate the complexities of a large company like Sun and taught me a few things - which is what made the job interesting.  So I send a thank you to Simon Phipps, Jean Elliot, David Bryant, David Marr, Terri Molini and everyone else who provided valuable counsel and gave me the chance to explore and learn all about open source.  I"ll have a new blog - somewhere. Check my Facebook page or LinkedIn page for details.
