Derrick Harcey, Terry Sigle and I (Systems Engineers in Sun's Software Practice) publically announced Project OpenPTK at Sun's Customer Engineering Conference (CEC) 2007 in Las Vegas, Nevada. |
In addition to my co-founders (Derrick and Terry), i'd like to thank lots of other people that helped make this project possible. The three of us put in a lot of evenings and weekends.
- My wife: I spent a few weekends and evenings writing code and having conference calls. I woke her up sometimes while dicsussing issues during 1:00 AM conference calls.
- My two boys: while they were either at swimming lessons or at Tae Kwon Do classes, I would occasionally bring my laptop to write code or read technology books for research.
- My management supported this project since day one. Thanks for supporting our vision.
- Sun's engineering, marketing, open source and legal teams.
Being a member of Project OpenPTK has allowed he to see, first hand, that Sun believes in and supports open source projects.
