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.
