The world is getting more dangerous, as many of us from South Asia and Africa felt over the holidays, yet hope springs eternal. And the pace of technology innovations is relentless, so let me go back to what I am comfortable with, and that is talking about the goods, and sometimes the bads (I will skip the uglies since they are all around us in the non technology world, as I stated just above) in the technology space.
First, the good. We did some press around IOPES, the IBM's OmniFind Personal Email Search that I have talked about before and there were some good blogs on it, with people finding it very useful to extract information out of their email systems. I am so happy that the Avatar team that I love is getting its day in the sun -- they have worked their behinds off to get this out.
Now for another good news. Damien Katz, couchDB fame is joining my team. I am very excited, and so is he... As I said in an earlier post, this whole space is very interesting to me, and to us in IBM. And open community is very important to me, and to IBM. So I know this move will be great for everyone involved. Welcome Damien, and I am looking forward to some "vegetarian" deep fried stuff from you when we get together.
No bads so early in the year! Again, best wishes for everyone!
