Thursday November 23, 2006 Thanks
Today is pretty quiet for me here in the UK, and I am thankful that the US is celebrating Thanksgiving. I spent a couple of days in Milan at the start of the week where I gave a talk at the new Open Source Business Academy event that was held there. I was able to include an open source status slide for Sun's Java implementations for the first time - something I am especially thankful for!
If one could earn US citizenship by collecting US stamps in one's passport I would almost certainly have done so by now, so it's in order to thank a few people (nowhere near everybody I should, I have so many people to thank) in connection with the Free Java platform progress we've made! I'd like to recognise the huge help that Geir, Dalibor and Mark generously gave and continue to give me over OpenJDK and much else. A huge thank-you to my excellent and wonderful team, the best I've worked with in a decade. And warm, loving gratitude to my family for putting up with the time away that was necessary over the last two months.

An article from me explaining why open source matters to enterprises

I missed this when the Seattle PI first published it - it tells how Microsoft evades Washington state taxes and asks about the ethics of philanthropy while taking fiduciary duty to the extreme of tax avoidance like this.
