Friends at work
This week many people from Sun are at
OSCON and I thought it was
a good occasion to start a
moblog.
It's amazingly easy to take a snapshot, e-mail it to Flickr (with
tags) and have Flickr automatically apply my chosen
Creative Commons license
to the photo and create a new blog entry for me!
So, in breaking with tradition, this blog entry won't have
any pictures at all as they will all be over on
Tom's Treo Moblog.
Please bear with my misspellings and short captions as the Lillipution
keyboard is really hard for entering lots of text.
Since many, many groups at Sun work virtually I found it interesting
that
Doc Searls mentioned that after the first three employees no
additional people at Linux
Journal shared the same area code! That's why getting together
to finally to put a face to the name you've worked with
virtually is so great... And, of course, face-to-face interaction is much
richer than simply talking over the phone. And voice conversations
are much better than e-mail which, as everyone knows, is
a great medium for some things, but is notorious for allowing
miscommunications to take on a life of their own.
So seeing our team here -- and meeting many people I've always
wanted to meet from the Open Source world -- has been a lot of
fun to add a human dimension to all the discussions we've had
(and are having) about what the future may hold...
