- rbranson 17y agoTimothy William Bray is a Canadian software developer and entrepreneur. He co-founded Open Text Corporation and Antarctica Systems. Tim was the Director of Web Technologies at Sun Microsystems until his resignation on February 26th, 2010. Yes, Wikipedia is already updated.
- matrix 17y agoThat's a little misleading. His main claim to fame is his involvement in drafting XML standards. That said, I'm not exactly sure why we're meant to care about him resigning from Oracle/Sun. Seriously - what exactly did he do there?
- wglb 17y agoI am not sure in what way it is misleading. Prior to his claim to fame in drafting XML, he was famous for using SGML in an effort to put The Dictionary onto CDROM, and famous for writing one of the first web crawlers, and founding the company Open Text.

- wglb 17y agoHis blog has an entry as well: http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/201x/2010/02/26/Noracle http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/201x/2010/02/26/Noracle He talks about how he really likes the people at Sun, does not mention the people at Oracle.
- awa 17y agoHe also mentions: the official integration date here in Canada is March 1st, so I won’t ever have actually been an Oracle employee. It seems he didn't really had a chance to meet many people from Oracle, Of course all the Sun people he liked would soon be Oracle people
