Hi,
I wanted to introduce myself to the OpenSolaris community. Some of you
might know me from my previous roles at Sun, or from my blog, but
starting today I'll be leading up Sun's Solaris marketing efforts,
including OpenSolaris marketing. The first thing I want to do is listen
to the OpenSolaris community and understand what you want Sun to be
doing better to support you. I've already had some good advice from my
blog posting over the weekend including:
- make sure you are telling non-Sun users about OpenSolaris
- get more Sun engineers to speak on OpenSolaris at conferences,
especially non-Sun oriented conferences like USENIX, LISA, etc.
- clean up the branding, i.e. Solaris Express Community Edition, Solaris
Express Developer Edition, OpenSolaris, Solaris 10, etc.
While it is only my first day in the new job, I can already tell you
there is a tremendous amount of executive attention at Sun focused on
ensuring the OpenSolaris community is successful. Among many other
things, one of my priorities is to ensure we bring our own Solaris 10
distribution closer to the OpenSolaris source base (there is a pretty
big time lag right now). I'm really excited about my new job, hope to
meet many more OpenSolaris community members, either virtually or in
person, and look forward to the growing success of the community.
BTW, here is my blog entry from June 14, 2005, the day we launched
OpenSolaris. I guess I better get my team to start planning our two year
anniversary.
