Lots of ISVs showed off what they are building using Adobe technology. One of them was BMC. CTO Tom Bishop, an old friend of mine, was in attendance.<\/p>\n<p>But back to William Hurley. He is keynoting at Microsoft&#8217;s event for Web 2.0 developers next week. He got seriously Dugg for <a href=\"http:\/\/talk.bmc.com\/blogs\/blog-whurley\/whurley\/seven-reasons-microsoft-loves-open-source\">this<\/a>. Not Microsoft&#8217;s enterprise TechEd event, but its gig for all things cool.<\/p>\n<p>Mix is even taglined the 72 hour conversation.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t want to make this a long post because I have work to do, but it also strikes me that BMC was early to blogging. Hurley recently joined BMC as its chief architect of open source strategy. I think he may get some things done so competitors, partners and prospects take note.<\/p>\n<p> Basically I just wanted to say BMC seems a lot cooler since Cote left&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>disclosure: BMC is a sponsor. Microsoft is a supporter.<\/p>\n<p>BMC is a client.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am sitting here on a Saturday working on a book rather than going for a walk with my wife and son on this sun-kissed afternoon when i unwisely decide to just take a tiny peek at Twitter.
