Hello and welcome,
   I'm wondering if you're going to get the dev system 'rocking' ;)

Subject: [opensource-dev] Introduction

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).
