The Cloud Services press release went out early this week, and what d'ya know, I was quoted in itexaminer! Technically Barry Shurtz, Director of Marketing was quoted, but I wrote it! As another marketing team person told me: for a writer, it's publish or perish.
I started a new project: reworking some of that big old 15-page white paper into a series of blog posts. It is amazingly difficult to translate something an engineer has written into comfortable, readable English; it's worse than legalese. The engineers themselves are nice guys, but there is an underlying mutual distain for marketing and sales that has apparently existed since the beginning of time (see Dilbert). It's all good and professional though.
Much of the middle part of today was taken up with the monthly lunch with the extended marketing group at Skates on the Bay in Berkely (the fish and chips are really good). The company paid for it, but there wasn't much business discussed. I suppose it's important to have events like this to keep up the moral and team spirit of the group.
