Sharing Talent, Technology, Time

Big time congrats to the Sun Labs team for mobilizing an amazing turn-out from organizations across the company in support of Silicon Valley Heart Walk 2007 yesterday.

Sun walkers, donors and supporters were about 200 all together. They turned out (in comfortable walking shoes and/or in spirit) to participate in the Silicon Valley Heart Walk 2007 by the American Heart Association. The Heart Walk was held yesterday held this Sunday morning, 16 September at De Anza in Cupertino

CTO Greg Papadopoulos was a key leader in making this happen as was Sun Labs hot-shot Katy Dickinson. I found out about it from my Facebook friend (and Sun colleague) Geetha Vallabhaneni.

The Sun team raised $9,957.  This total does not include Sun's matching funds.

Every gift made by a Sun employee is eligible to receive a dollar-for-dollar matching grant from the Sun Foundation up to $1,000 per employee per year.

Great job team! You make me proud to work here.

As the executive director of the Sun Foundation, I get to work with a Board of Directors. 

We are so lucky to have just an incredible Board that actively invests in the work that we do.

I recently had an impromptu 1:1 with one such Board member -- Hal Stern.

He was in my geography hosting a mini-town hall/lunch for his larger organization.

Afterwards, I grabbed him for 1:1. We talked about a next-generation project in the works, the details of which are still top secret. But I will share this with you:

... the notes I took back to my office from the meeting.
