Moving on..
As many of you already know, I’ve left Likewise last week (April 15th). It has been an exhilarating four and a half years doing some pretty great things with some really terrific people. We built what I am convinced will be the definitive SMB/CIFS stack for the non-Windows world in a record 15 months . What an achievement! I will miss working with my Likewise team and I wish them the best of luck and good fortune as they move forward.
So what’s next for an old hand at distributed systems? Hopefully, reach for the “clouds” … I’m usually pretty cautious/skeptical when it comes to analyzing new trends, but this one seems pretty obvious. To say that the cloud promises to be disruptive would be banal - it is the new “New World” for distributed computing. I think success will theirs who discover the most optimal route to this New World. And I want to be part of that discovery process.
So I’m going to take a few weeks off, but get busy figuring out how best I can get involved in the new cloud world.
To all of you who read my blog, thank you very much. Hopefully, I will have interesting things to talk about in the future.
Congratulations my friend. It was such a pleasure to get the opportunity to meet you many years ago when Likewise was in its infancy. Would love to stay in touch.
Best of luck to you Krishna! Lots of fond memories… Our scrambling with GID, the heated discussions about the airline deployment, too many to count.
Do you have an email where i can write to you ?
Thanks
Sid
Best of luck in the “clouds” – I always though Likewise was a pretty cool company, and hope the next venture is equally challenging and successful
Hey Krishna, all the best – stay in touch. I guess the days of the LAN are finally over, eh?
