Hal Stern is Vice President and Chief Technology Officer for Software at Sun Microsystems. His job is to stay on top of the industry, and discern whether a technology is purely buzz or reality. Hal and I chat about his history before Sun, his 15+ years at the company, and the future of software: open source, freedoms, and web 2.0. He also gives us his reasons for loving OpenSolaris.

You can keep up to date with Hal on his The Morning Snowman: Weblog.

Until earlier this week, Claire managed the OpenSolaris marketing effort and before that managed the engineering effort for OpenSolaris. I had the opportunity to chat with Claire just before she left Sun - we talk a lot about Sun and communities, and how she moved from Engineering to Marketing. There's been a dramatic shift in how Sun works with it's communities, and Claire shares her thoughts our new business world, like blogs, social software, OpenSolaris in del.icio.us, and Open Solaris Enthusiast Flickr group.

I've been wanting to invite David Yen, Sun's Executive Vice President for the Scalable Systems Group, since starting the show. He and his group is responsible for the UltraSPARC T1 (code named Niagara) which was announced the other day. He's an amazing thinker, and we chatted about Sun's CPUs and the future of computing.

We even talked about the recent issues that Intel are facing with the hyperthreading issue.

Jonathan Schwartz has been instrumental in shaping the way Sun currently operates, and the way in which we think. So, it was a joy for me to have him as a guest on the show. We talk about his history in business, Ozzie and Gates memo to Microsoft, how Sun with monetize its strategy, the acceleration of business through online communities, Sun's grid, and his love for blogs.sun.com (link to 'expert' suggesting blogs are a security risk). I also mentioned some recent podcasts that do an amazing job of explaining Sun's current strategy. Jonathan mentions each post in his blog entry.

OpenOffice.org announced the release of version 2.0 today. A great milestone and event in office productivity. Not only is OOo free, it also uses the OASIS Open Document Format, which provides greater freedom than just dollar value.

I was lucky enough to have already organized an interview with Louis Suarez-Potts, OOo's Community Development Manager. We chat about his role, OOo's history, the importance of community management, and the future of office productivity suites. It was a fascinating chat.

Thanks Louis for your time.

Todays podcast was an awesome pleasure. I had the chance to speak with Andy Bechtolsheim, Chief Architect and Senior Vice President, Network Systems organization and is also a member of Sun's executive management team. Not only that, he's the man responsible for Sun Microsystems itself, exemplified by his status as employee number 1, because he created the "Stanford University Network workstation" that eventually became the Sun-1 Workstation.

I've split this podcast in two, because Andy had so much to say. I've kept each part to about 20 minutes. Part two will be released in a few days.

In this installment Andy talks about the start and early days of Sun, all the way through to today with AMD--even elluding to some future projects. He also gives us his thoughts on the difference between Sun now and at its beginning.

This week was a special one from Bryan Cantrill. He was awarded one of MIT's Technology Review 35. An award that claims, "Their work is a road map to what's hot in emerging technology--and their achievements will shape the world we live in for decades to come." Which is an awesome achievement. Fortunately I managed to get some time with him to chat about the award and DTrace, the innovation that won him the prize.

In the interview, Bryan mentions a post to comp.unix.solaris that inspired him to email Sun. Here is a reference to the post by Jeff Bonwick.

Here is the article about Developer aims for Dtrace on FreeBSD.
If you want to be involved with OpenSolaris, there is a dedicated DTrace community. More on DTrace can be found here.

Thanks again to Stingray for the intro music (Meet Me In The Middle).

Last night I chatted with Jim Grisanzio, the Community Manager for OpenSolaris, and Ben Rockwood one of the community members. It was an awesome opportunity for me to get first hand information about what's happening with OpenSolaris at the moment. For us mere mortals that don't dig into the code it's sometimes hard to get a handle on what's happening today. So Jim and Ben fill us in.

If you want to get involved in the OpenSolaris community, then pay a visit to the OpenSolaris Community Portal, everything you need to start is found there.

Thanks guys, it was a great chat, which we'll have to do again soon!

By the way. I mention Ben's kilt in the show, and thanks to Simon we get a first hand look :).

Thanks to Stingray for the intro music (Meet Me In The Middle).

In this first I/O Podcast I talk with Sun's Chief Open Source Officer, Simon Phipps. Simon's just started the Sun Open Source Office and Open Source Ombudsman with the aim of facilitating the many OS initiatives that Sun is now involved in. We chat about what he does, how he started it by bursting in to Jonathan's office, GPL, CDDL, and his obsession with surfing the Internet from every corner of his home.

Thanks to Stingray for the intro music (Meet Me In The Middle).
