My last day at Wild Open Source was May 15th. It feels weird leaving a company that you helped build, but it feels even weirder ending my tenure at HP. I have been doing work for HP since we started the PA-RISC Linux port. First The Puffin Group, then Linuxcare and finally at Wild Open Source.
I did the maths and over the last 6 years I have spent a whopping total of two years contracting for SGI (14 months on XFS, 10 months on Altix). But between different contracts I have worked over 4 years for HP (PA-RISC, Integrity, LEK, XC). Which means that effectively I have spent more time at HP than I have at Wild Open Source. q.e.d.
Thanks, HP! And special thanks to Alan, Fred and Jeanette.
On Tuesday I start my new job at Oracle. I'll be working on block I/O and filesystems for the Linux Engineering group. I am really looking forward to getting back in the storage business. And it's going to be great to work with old friends again.
