I was there in building 5. I played hockey with Scott and Steve (srk@sun.com, I was lm@sun.com, to this day the best email address I've ever had.) Guy Harris was there, he's why I went to Sun. He left to go to Auspex but since Auspex licensed Sun's source he kept coming back. John Pope and I worked late, Guy pounded on the door of building 5, we let him in so he could fix stuff. I still have memories of Guy going "shit, they haven't fixed this? Losers. Checkin." Guy committed changes to Suns code long after he was not employed by Sun. Scooter used to come into our building around 7pm and tell us how we were going to rule the world. He got up on the conference table and he stood there and made us believe. How many CEO's are around at 7pm? When that other guy was put in, some web guy, I was bummed. Scooter really loved Sun, he cared a lot.

Considering that you were the reason that Bonwick came to Sun and Bonwick was the reason I came to Sun, I guess that makes me a descendant of sort of Guy Harris... Also, not sure if you saw it or not, but I gave you a shout-out in my history of SunOS/Solaris/OpenSolaris/illumos[1]. I'm sure I got some of the history slightly wrong from that era (it did, after all, predate me at Sun), so accept my apologies in advance...

  Holy crap, you got my wife cheering you. Thanks a lot from me and her Bryan. Great shout out. Very cool talk too. You should continue to talk about how the kernel team ruled.
