So here I am, a newly minted Vice President, trying to figure out what to do with this crazy thing called a blog. I mean, I've been developing and using software for 30 years now, but I'm by no means of the generation where blogs come naturally. So maybe you can tell me - what would you like to know about what we're doing at Sun, particularly in the operating systems space that I'm responsible for?

Perhaps starting out with a few words about me and my organization would help. I've been with Sun for 15 years, mostly in software engineering management and most of that in Sun's hardware division. I did a three year stint in marketing before joining the Solaris organization in November, 2001. Just this past June I was named Vice President of the Operating Platforms Group, responsible for operating systems at Sun - both Solaris and Linux. My team - and you know a lot of them - built all the cool stuff coming in Solaris 10. We're also the folks figuring out how to deliver open source Solaris, and I'm sure lots of you will want to know more about that. So, let me know what you think, and what you want to know. Don't be shy - drop me a line. And help me figure out this crazy thing.
