If you really work for IBM, then you must have some technical skill
you're so good at that they forget absolutely everthing else.

In any case, he's a Platform Strategy Lead at Microsoft Portugal,
and someone who I expect will "sell" shared source, together with
his cronies, at our Government on the basis of OSI having approved
two shared source licenses, so shared source is good and open-sourcy.
