Off to Beijing
Today I'm off to Beijing, where Sun has a large and growing engineering center.  My team there now includes more than 150 people, and this will be my third trip to Beijing this year.  What's different about this trip is that I'm bringing my entire staff with me.  Why?  Because to develop and grow a site six thousand miles and sixteen time zones away from headquarters requires significant investment and dedication to success.  Giving my staff the chance to meet the engineers and managers at the site, and vice versa, is an important step in bringing Beijing virtually closer to Menlo Park.  We're very excited about the opportunities in China.  Our Beijing Engineering and Research Institute will play a large part in helping us develop those opportunities

Stay tuned.  I suspect you'll see some blogs from Beijing.
