Norm’s leaving Sun. I’ve never worked with Norm on a Sun-internal project, as his projects didn’t overlap with mine, but I’ve worked with him on others, most particularly the OASIS Entity Resolution TC. He was also one of the reviewers and session chairs I could most rely on when I was chairing the XML conference.
Norm was one of the reasons I was happy to join Sun; I’ve always thought his intelligence and integrity, along with his depth of knowledge and good humour, reflected well on any company that employed him. Norm, I wish you all the best at Mark Logic, they’re lucky to have convinced you to join them.
Thank you, Lauren. Maybe our paths will cross more often now that we work for different companies. 🙂
