Sun: Quick on the draw to engage!

January 26, 2007

Matt and I wrote posts somewhat critical of Sun a few days ago.  Since then the folks at Sun gave me a call and offered to resolve the issue.  They also asked me how they might address the small business and startup space more effectively.  Matt followed up with a post here and explains,

Where does that leave Automattic now? We just brought 20 new HP/Debian boxes online. David Comay followed up his comment with an email requesting to get together, and since he’s a kernel hacker and not a sales guy I’m very open to that. Likewise with Jeff Barr from Amazon, though their web services are so beautifully self-service I wonder what we’ll chat about. Another chance for Sun? Time will tell. For us it’s a pragmatic issue, not a religious one. If nothing else, I’m hopeful that the discussions spawned will help put Sun’s nascent startup efforts back on track.
