Goodbye Sun, hello Red Hat
Apr 9th, 2008 by sharps
After 8.5 exciting years - I recently left Sun to join the JBoss division of Red Hat. I’m honoured to be invited to join a company I’ve admired (as a competitor) for many years; and that’s as true for JBoss as it is for Red Hat.
Red Hat has much to offer - a legendary record of disruption through innovation in technology and business models, strong growth and the opportunity to work with some real pioneers. I’m joining at a very exciting time in the company’s development and at a very interesting period in the software industry as a whole.
Hopefully the next 8.5 years will be every bit as fulfilling as the last.
Rich,
Congrats on the new job! Good luck!
sounds like Jboss beat Sun, aha, anyway, congratulations to u

Welcome. I was at Sun 1995 (2 weeks before the Java announcement - timing ?) to 2002. I joined Red Hat 4 months ago. I think our timing is good.

Rich,
Good Luck on the new gig. I’ll be watching the blog for updates.

Rich, I challenge you to a Guitar Hero III face off at Java ONE. Winner takes all ;-).

Bring it on !!
[We have GH2 in the office - I’ll see if I can find a mentor]
