position at sun/paul davis

[Orm Finnendahl <finnendahl@folkwang-hochschule.de>]

Dear Javier Diaz,

I just learned that Sun rejected the application of Paul Davis for
its job opening in San Jose concerning the architecting of
SunRay(thin client) apparently for not considering him competent and
appropriate.

I'm working in Europe mainly for electronic music studios in the
academic field. It is well known here that Paul Davis is one of the
principal developers in the open source linux audio community. It
seems ironic that one of the motors of linux audio development isn't
even considered for a position in a major company, using software
which is partly based on his free work. In addition not being able to
judge Davis' competence doesn't enhance our trust in the quality of
the products Sun develops.

Be assured, the news about this decision is spread here in Europe and
will have a significant impact on our choice of hardware purchase in
the future.

Please notify the responsible members of your staff.

Orm Finnendahl
