November 19, 2008 is my red letter day!

I attended the Sun Tech Days 2008 in Guangzhou city with the permission from our department head (Thanks for the generosity of Mr. Huang). Ian Murdock, the founder of Debian distribution and The VP of Sun, who in charge of the Project Indiana, presented a presentation on the opening ceremony. Can you imagine how exciting it was to have the opportunity to meet with the father of Debian, as an experienced Debian user? So much I wanted to ask, but unfortunately, no Q&A section was arranged. Even though it’s a little bit pity not having the chance to communicate with Ian Murdock directly, I felt fabulous to meet with the giant in Linux world so closely.

When God closed a door, he will open a window for you.

When I was waiting for the beginning of next part of the show in the lobby, after finishing lunch, Ian was there waiting for someone too! So, we had a brief talk ;) I asked Ian many questions about Debian and OpenSolaris. He told me that Debian just like his own child, it had grown up, so its future depends on its own. That’s the reason why he left the team few years ago. I asked “Are you going to make

OpenSolaris the next Debian?”, he laughed. From his face I could tell that he confident about the future of OpenSolaris, even though intensive competition is happening in the OS world.

After finishing this journey, I backed to Zhuhai. I noticed that there was an unread letter from Redhat in my mailbox, which is the result of the RHCT exam I attended last Saturday in Shenzhen, on behalf of YGsoft. The result? Pass!

Life is full of surprises. I met with the master in Linux world on the day I was notified that I passed the Linux certification. I suppose that is a gift from destiny for my hard work on Linux on those days and nights in the NIC of NJFU.

2008年11月19日，真是一个值得纪念的日子。

我有幸得到部门领导的恩准前往广州参加2008年Sun科技日。Debian Linux创始人Ian Murdock（现为SUN的全球副总裁，负责OpenSolaris Idiana项目）在会上作了一场技术汇报。作为一个“老资格”（自认）Debian用户的我，能有机会现场见到Ian，那可是相当地兴奋。

我一边听Ian的介绍，一边有N多问题想提问，无奈主办方没有安排Q&A环节。没能有和Ian交流的机会让我有些失望，但是能够近距离目击Linux世界的大师级人物，我也感到知足了。

上天总是在关上了一道门后，又为你开启一扇窗户。

午餐后我在酒店大堂等候下午活动开始时，Ian正好也在等人，于是我们就聊起来了;)
我问了Ian一些关于Debian以及OpenSolaris的事情。Ian觉得Debian就像他的孩子一样。孩子长大了就应该有自己的发展。所以他在几年前选择离开Debian团队。当我问到“Are you going to make OpenSolaris the next Debian?”，Ian哈哈大笑了起来。看得出来，在当今操作系统军阀混战的年代，他对OpenSolaris的未来充满了信心。

结束科技日的行程回到珠海家中。打开邮箱，发现邮箱里面静静地躺在一封Redhat寄来的邮件。邮件的内容是上星期六我代表公司参加Redhat的RHCT认证考试的结果。结果？Pass!

世界上的事情真是奇妙无比！在我确认通过了RHCT的同一天，竟然有幸遇到了Debian Linux的创始人Ian Murdock。也许这是上天给我的一份礼物，用来纪念我在网络中心机房为Linux疯狂的那些日日夜夜。
