Effective today, I have quit BEA and accepted a position at Google. In case you worry, this new role is not going to alter my interest in J2EE and related technologies, nor will it dramatically impact my blogging, so I am definitively planning on staying involved with the community.

Here’s to a new beginning!

man what the heck is going on over at BEA? It seems like there is a mass scramble to get out...next thing you know there is going to be an announcement that they are being bought out by oracle or something.

Andre Mermegas

oh, congratulations too.

What a shocker! But hey, joining Google right now is a great move. What will you be doing at Google?

Geoffrey Wiseman

Wow; more defections to Google. Gotta admit I'm curious what Google's up to with all these Java types. Sounds like a great company to work for, from what I've heard. Hope you enjoy, and congratz.

Hi Cedric and congratulations. This is great news for you. Sounds like Google is getting really serious about Java/J2EE, which is great news for all of us. Let's get that Blogger rewrite deployed under WebLogic and working again :) Cheers --vinny

Toutes mes felicitations. I already feel a void. Let's hope that you guys are going to come up with something very cool.... From Adam Bosworth's weblog, I guess that you are going to work on the next generation of web client, make it simpler, easier to deal with and to use ... (Adam's KISS principle), .. do not forget the Mac :-) What's going to happen to TestNG? The EJB 3 expert group? Thierry http://janaudy.com/

Raider

Stas Kubasek

Congrats Cedric. It looks like BEA will get bought (look at their stock price), or at least it looks like they're in trouble. Especially if they lose a guy of your caliber. :-) Like others said, share as much as you can about your Google experience and environment. I've been hearing that the environement there is quite nice.
