This is just a quick note to introduce myself - I'm Scott Lawrence, and this week I've become Oz Linden. I've just started at Linden Lab as the Director of Open Development.
I'm a long time open source user and developer - for the last ~7 years I've been leading the sipXecs SIP PBX project <http://wiki.sipfoundry.org/display/sipXecs/sipXecs> My new role here is to expand and improve the open source viewer program. I hope to get to know most of you well, and to hear your thoughts on how Linden Lab and the open source community can work better together. I'm also heading up the Applied Engineering team with the mission of making our sustaining activities for the viewer even more responsive to the needs of our Residents, and I hope that part of that will be achieved by accelerating the incorporation of the good work of open source contributors. I'm based in the Boston office, which will give you some idea of when I'm most likely to be awake. I am very much aware that I've taken on a big job, and that there's much to do - I'm going to be looking to you to help me set my agenda. Please understand that I'm sending this note on my second day as an employee - I have not yet finished all my new-hire paperwork, and it will take me some time to get up to speed; please bear with me. Outside work, I play billiards in the APA <http://www.poolplayer.org/>, and ride my electric skateboard (if you've got a Facebook account, you can see a very short ride <http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=1435574887089>). (I rode it today from the train station to the office). _______________________________________________ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OpenSource-Dev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
