After reading some of the responses, I think I agree with Wes. After
all, it's likely that McNealy won't write the paper himself - he'd pass
the guts of the assignment along to someone else.

And Ian Murdock currently is the big open source guy for Sun (re.
OpenSolaris). If he gets a shot at this opportunity (assuming he retains
some Debian perspective), the output to Obama won't be half bad.

Thanks,
Mike
