Ian Murdock, Vice President of Developer and Community, Sun Microsystems
Ian Murdock is Vice President of Developer and Community at Sun
Microsystems. Since joining Sun in March 2007, Ian has driven Project
Indiana, the binary distribution of OpenSolaris designed to lower
barriers to adoption for Solaris technology and lay the foundation for
future releases of the Solaris platform. Prior to joining Sun, Ian was
Chief Technology Officer of the Linux Foundation and cofounder of
Progeny, a provider of custom Linux platform technology. A longtime
Linux user, developer, and advocate, Ian founded the Debian project in
1993. Today, Debian is one of the most popular Linux distributions in
the world, with millions of users worldwide. Debian is also widely
considered one of the most successful and influential open source
projects ever launched: More than 1,000 volunteers in all parts of the
world are currently involved in Debian development, and the founding
document of the open source movement itself was originally a Debian
position statement. Ian was also a founding director of the Open Source
Initiative (1998-2001). Sessions |
