There was a lot of buzz when Tim Bray joined Sun.
I am very impressed that he has kept up the blogging, and it is very honest. He talks about what is good, and what needs work.
I think he is making a difference, and his latest entry talks about the new Sun Policy on Public Discourse.
Hearing more from Sun can only be a good thing for them. They do have a lot of smart people working there (maybe not so many in the marketing department unfortunately :/) and it is great to see a more open voice.
Hopefully they will connect more with the community. I have noticed a difference with the JCP recently (it has been a pleasure to work with some of them), the process is getting more transparent, and the spec leads are opening up more.
Now we need a few more Sun Java evangelists out there. They should be in the community (TSS, JavaLobby, ...) listening to developers. This goes hand in hand with my past entry Sun should call in their MVPs!.
Sun, we are out here waiting to promote the technology. Use us.
