Tuesday June 20, 2006 Open Source Group
James reported on a rumour he'd heard recently that I was transitioning to an extended role within the scope of being Sun's Chief Open Source Officer. It's true - I'll be running our new consolidated Open Source Group. I'll be hosted by Peder Ulander in marketing (he's Sun's SVP Software Marketing) and also sitting on Rich Green's staff (he's Sun's EVP Software). By gathering together many of the people already working with open source communities across the company, I'll have a great team of experienced staff working for me.
Our job is to make sure Sun behaves cluefully in the open source communities, gets credit for doing so and generates the revenue that pays for it. As the details are confirmed I'll write some more about it here, but suffice to say Sun's dedication to free and open source software is expressing itself in the very tangible form of a great community engagement team. We now run Sun's Open Source pages, keep an eye on them!
