• Jonathan Schwartz: Java Jedi?
  "I would really love to see Jonathan and the people trying to change Sun succeed"

SAS Institute is still shying away from blogging, but Sun's Phillip Kinslow recently started a blog about his job, which is to align Sun with the SAS mantra "The power to know." So we've got SAS employees blogging about Eclipse and Sun employees blogging about SAS; how about some SAS employees blogging about SAS? There are lots of cool things going on at SAS and I bet the employees are just dying to tell us about it, but they need a push. Plus, they need a policy, some servers and some software.

PS. Sun's BM Seer is also blogging about SAS and some world record setting ETL benchmarks by SAS Enterprise Data Integration Server and a Sun Fire E25K.

Congrats to continuous integration guru Jared Richardson, who has jumped ship from SAS and apparently without much of a safety net. I don't know Jared personally, but I heard a lot of good things about him when I was at SAS -- so good luck to Jared.
