FLOSS week
A week ago I was in Menlo Park to tape a SDN-TV segment with
Kuldip on OpenJDK. Then starting on Sunday I was with our
team in Portland at the UbuntuLive conference and
gave
a presentation.
In the segue from UbuntuLive to OSCON I was able to attend
a meeting of open source community leaders to discuss, among
other things, trademark law and open source projects.
We also had Tiki Dare, Sun's trademark counsel, and Simon Phipps,
director of Free Software, representing Sun. This was
a fantastic session that highights the need to collaborate
on this third element of law surrounding software projects.
There was general consensus that sharing "case studies" would
be a fantastic first step.
On Wednesday OSCON got into full swing and we had our Sun party in the evening... it was probably one of the best we've ever thrown.
Today OSCON is wrapping up and I'm headed home. Thanks to all friends -- old and new -- that I met in Portland. And a special thanks for Janice for interviewing me for java.sun.com.
NOTE on submitting comments: The Roller software we use here at Sun is quite aggressive about which comments it likes. Please be patient if your comment which includes HTML is not displayed immediately. I will ensure it gets published the next time I check e-mail.
