Sun's ZFS Creator to Quit Oracle and Join Startup
Found on eWEEK on Tuesday, 28 September 2010
Another key former Sun Microsystems engineer is leaving Oracle. This time it is Jeff Bonwick the leader of the team that created ZFS, the file system in the Solaris operating system.
Oracle has witnessed the departure of some recognizable engineering talent, including James Gosling, Tim Bray, and DTrace co-creators Adam Leventhal and Bryan Cantrill, among others.
Java creator James Gosling said a key part of his decision to leave Oracle was that his decicion making power over Java had been severely restricted.
Seems like Oracle sucks not only from the outside, but also from the inside. It's about time for them to rethink their business model.
