As of Friday, May 9th, I'm moving on from BEA Systems/Oracle. It's been an amazing 7 years. I've had a chance to be part of a great standards team from formation to transition. I know that the BEA standards folks that are making the transition to Oracle standards are in good hands and will do well.
I have no idea what is next. I think I'll take some time to catch up on some things. Maybe we'll do some travelling. Maybe we'll do a startup. Maybe we'll look at google or yahoo or ... Who knows. I don't. Time will tell.
Congratulations; seems like good timing. There were lots of good times, and I'm glad I had the chance to be part of it.
Why don't you come down and see us in Melbourne?
Great! I think you should do something with all that Music metadata fu you've been accumulating :)
