There is even an aggregator for Sun alumni. Read interesting tidbits over past 3 years in Linda’s (engineering program manager for BSC) blog. A complete collection of wishes can be viewed here.
Here is a partial list of ways I’ve benefited from this personal space:
- This personal space provides yet another opportunity to communicate effectively with our users.
- It’s because of this personal space, we are able to establish community around GlassFish.
- It’s because of liberty to write about anything on this personal space, I’ve been able to share my running and photography stories with people I’ve never known.
- It’s because of this personal space, I got numerous wishes before my first marathon and completed it successfully.
- It’s because of this personal space, a 10-year old friend contacted me yesterday.
The list can go on. This blog is, now, a significant part of my identity 
Happy third irthday blogs.sun.com, and congratulations to BSC engineering team!
Arun, that is a great list!
