Brian Leonard - Evangelist

Brian Leonard is a Technology Evangelist for Sun Microsystems. Brian has over 18 years of software development experience evolving from the terminal, to the desktop, to the web (and back to the desktop).

In his current role, Brian works to create and foster the community around OpenSolaris, the open source distribution of Solaris from Sun Microsystems. Brian has spent the majority of his career working as a Java application developer and deployer, and he now gets to showcase why features like ZFS and DTrace make OpenSolaris the ideal operating system for these roles. You can follow Brian's exploits with OpenSolaris on his blog The Observatory.
