But what does it mean? Evangelizing WP or Linux?

It's kinda odd how Nokia and HP both managed to implode themselves this year...

Could be linux? WP is pretty much set in concrete but he would pretty much have his own sandbox with meltemi .

Crazy. I actually work at lucasfilm and Kerris was our CTO for a bit. If I knew he was moving onto Nokia wish I took the time to tell him to push Meego further ;)

We're a very linux based company, so I wouldn't be surprised if he pushes it more. Would be nice though :D

Yeah i read about his other jobs when it hit the news that he resigned. Crazy anyways that the name "Lucasfilm" still applies :D

Haha hey now, Lucasfilm encompasses Industrial Light and Magic (visual effects) and Skywalker Sound (sound effects) which are doing quite well in the movie industry, so not like we're just all working on endless star wars related material ;)

But it's a little strange how he jumped from Apple to Lucas then off to HP and Nokia. One doesn't fit in the mix :P But seems he's more mobile focused these days.

He'll do and push whatever he's paid to do and push. :)
