Thursday April 13, 2006 Schwartz Meets Brazil's President
One of the things I've known about for a few weeks and been longing to share happened this week. Whereas some corporate leaders get rebuffed, Sun's President Jonathan Schwartz had the honour of meeting Brazil's President Lula da Silva in Brazil. They talked about initiatives to address digitial inclusion together and how Sun can support Brazil more as a growing technology economy, especially in connection with free/open source software. There's coverage in Portuguese, for which the translation may or may not help! There's more to tell, I dearly hope I'll be able to talk about it during FISL next week.
