Ian Murdock is heading to Sun
I heard about this a couple weeks back, and now I see it’s official: Ian Murdock leaving the Linux Foundation and heading to Sun. What I had heard sounded like a great move for Ian and I wish him the best. It’s hard to tell from his announcement exactly what he’ll be doing, but I’m sure it will be an interesting experience.
Ian’s roots in the history of Linux are well grounded and I’m sure he will work to make both OSs in his field of view thrive on the Sun platforms. Ian can certainly offer insights into making both Sun+Solaris and Sun+Linux a more viable strategy than the one sided strategy I see today. Per my other posts, I think it’s no surprise I feel Sun could definitely use some help in that department. Anyway, congratulations to Ian and if there are areas to collaborate, you know where to find us.
BTW, Ian will remain as chair of the LSB under the Linux Foundation which is certainly good news.
