I&#8217;d been following his work on Roller way before he ever got hired by Sun, and I was happy when Roller ended up coming to Apache. <a href=\"http:\/\/roller.apache.org\/\">Apache Roller<\/a> (which powers all of Sun&#8217;s blogs, among other things) ought to be resume enough for Dave. Not only is Roller good enough to take the load of all of Sun&#8217;s blogs, Dave also helped grow the community for Roller to the point where it could graduate from the Apache Incubator. But if Roller isn&#8217;t enough, he&#8217;s also been working with Open Social and the Shindig project at the Apache Incubator, and has been cooking up some interesting stuff over at Project <a href=\"http:\/\/socialsite.dev.java.net\/\">SocialSite<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I know <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sauria.com\/blog\/2008\/03\/02\/job-search-20\/\">first hand<\/a> that blog posts can help people find jobs, so I hope that a little extra blog juice will speed Dave on his way to his next adventure. If you&#8217;re looking for work, and we&#8217;ve worked together, I&#8217;d be happy to put up a post for you, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today was a particularly black day &#8211; a number of large technology companies had layoffs today.
