Talk to Sun's 'Open Source Diva'
Danese Cooper is Manager of Sun's Open Source Program Office. A Google search on Danese turns up more than 1000 results. She's a frequent speaker at IT industry events and conferences, and is, without question, Sun's staunchest internal Open Source advocate. Sun is moving toward Open Source in fits and starts, and Danese is behind a lot of that motion. Feel free to ask her anything you want (one question per post. please) about the trials and tribulations of being an Open Source person within a company that hasn't yet fully grasped the concept, and how she goes about trying to change that. We'll post her answers to 10 of the highest-moderated questions within the next week or so. The only question she can't answer is whether/when Java might be Open Sourced. I already asked her, and she replied, "Sadly, I have no news on that..."
Being a women geek... do you get alot of male geek proposals?
How does it feel to work for the only company ever pushed out of a market by Open Source Software?
Open Source is, at best, only useful for creating a toy operating system. At worst it is the kind of subversive force in America that Stalin only dreamed of creating.
There are "cells" reporting to unknown leaders that only go by names like "L33t_Kernal_Hax0r" that cannot be located - after all, "living in my momma's basement cause I have no real world skills to speak of" is not a true street address.
There is the Marxist concept of "give what you can, take what you need." Only, none of these people can give anything, excepting the few heroes of the revolution that have their own roach filled apartments and must give blow jobs in parks monthly to meet their rent. Yet, they all feel the need to take, take, take. MP3s? "We must have them! It is about freedom for the artists!!" Software? "We must have it for free! It will be good then!!" Movies? "Yes, we must have them for free!!!" Of course, the dirty secret all of these "give it to me free!!!" people are trying to hide is that they have no resources to actually acquire anything legitimate, due to their pathetic skill set and the fact that society has no use for them.
Society, in fact, had no use for them even during their formative years. That's why their lunch money was stolen. Darwin's law was trying to assert itself, but overprotectively indulgent parenting prevented such a thing from happening.
to be a woman in such a male dominated field? How do you keep ahead of the game?
A followup: Age? Appearance? Have any naked photos? Do any photo shoots with Stevie Case?

G.G. Concord New Hampshire, United States A Cut Above the Rest While the debate over which is the best, a circumcised penis or an uncircumcised one may never be resolved, I'd like to cast my vote for the totally circumcised penis. I love the look and feel of a circumcised cock. For me, that's what sex is all about, seeing the male organ in all its circumcised glory. Sometimes I have an orgasm just thinking about touching a circumcised cock. When I first met my husband, he was not circumcised. I had never seen a foreskin before, and knew right away that I never wanted to see another one again. Try as he might to keep his penis clean, there always seemed to be some odor coming from it. More importantly, there was a lack of sensation for me during sex. He slid back and forth inside his own foreskin, and I felt virtually nothing of his penis inside me. The foreskin smoothed all the ridges at the head of his penis, and as a result he failed to stimulate my clitoris. I could not climax during intercourse, something I'd always been able to do before. Also, his foreskin would often become painfully swollen during long periods of sex and foreplay. When this happened we could not have sex for three or more days until the swelling went down. When we were dating, I urged him many times to get a circumcision. He was reluctant to have surgery on his dick, but three weeks after we married he consulted a surgeon. Soon thereafter he was circumcised or so we thought. I had seen other circumcised cocks before, and it seemed that my husband's new circumcision still left behind too much foreskin. His could best be described as a partial circumcision. He still had part of his foreskin, and his cock head remained partly covered when flaccid. The rim at the bottom of the cock head was almost never exposed. While sensation during sex was a little improved for me, a slight odor still emanated from his penis. I finally asked another doctor about circumcisions, and she told me that he most likely did not get a total circumcision. After talking with her, I told my husband about our conversation and he agreed to make an appointment with her and have the job done right. He was already happy with the increased sensation as a result of his partial circumcision, so he was most receptive to my suggestion of getting his foreskin completely cut off. He reasoned that sex, while already improved, could be even better. Two weeks later he joined the ranks of men who have totally circumcised cocks. In the days following the procedure I often found myself getting wet just thinking about having his fully circumcised penis all to myself. A week after the operation and before the stitches had dissolved he was getting several erections a day. He was extremely horny and I was no better, especially when I looked at his 'new' dick. Finally with the doctor's okay, I wrapped my thumb and forefinger around his cock head and gently slid my hand up and down and around. His cock was soon wet with pre-come. I was careful not to touch the incision below the glans. Almost immediately, he shot his load about three feet into the air. I did this each day for him, and by the time his stitches were gone I was practically begging to have that nude, tight, hard cock inside me. He was healed and ready for sex in two weeks. The results of his total circumcision have been beyond our wildest expectations. When flaccid, his penis has no loose rolls, wrinkles or folds of skin. The skin on his shaft is smooth, and the cock head is completely exposed. When erect, the skin on his shaft is pulled very tight. I think it's just beautiful! Even his cock head seems much more firm than before his circumcision. Watching him get hard, I can now see the head change shape as the skin of his shaft pulls taut. His cock head is really shiny and purplish in color, and his rim is very pronounced - also a dark purple in color, and very sensitive to the touch. Sensation for me during sex is now superb; I can hardy wait to feel that stiff cock enter me. I can now feel it everywhere inside my box. Having him just rub his cock head against my clit gives me an instant orgasm. I now climax several times every time we have intercourse. I just can't get enough of his fabulous cock! Feeling for him is greatly improved too. He says that, since the operation, simply getting hard, even if we don't have sex feels good, because of the sensation of the skin of his penis being stretched so taut. He insists that his entire prick is much more sensitive than before the operation. It is so sensitive, in fact, that for a while after his circumcision he would come very quickly. He now stays hard for a much longer time and can come many times without losing his erection. When he finally does become soft, the head stays a deep red color for a few minutes before returning to it's velvety pink color. I love to watch this change in color and hardness, and often masturbate while it's taking place. We are both into foreplay. I love sliding my hand up and down over his smooth shaft and feeling the hard, shiny, red cock head that is now always exposed. He shoots his come a long distance. Before his circumcision it used to dribble down his shaft. I usually make him come first with foreplay, looking on as his semen blasts across the room and then I put his still hard cock inside me, where he easily comes at least one more time. Oral sex, I can assure you, is great, the best I've ever had. I love the look of his circumcised penis now. It always looks so absolutely (and permanently) nude, clean and ready for action. I love knowing that his beautiful cock head will never again be touched by even a hint of loose skin. It is so easy to keep clean, and there is never any odor. I have tried to pull skin over the knob when he is flaccid, but try as I might I cannot pull up enough of it to even touch the rim of his cock head. My husband has now been totally circumcised for over a year and we have found no disadvantages whatsoever. Sex is immensely more enjoyable for both of us. His glans and rim seem larger to me, the head is always shiny, and he can really shoot those loads. I would never again want anything but a totally circumcised, completely nude penis. He feels the same, and only wishes he had been totally circumcised at lot earlier. I'm so turned on by my husband's circumcision I want to share it with the world. A couple we know recently invited us to spend a week with them at a nudist club they belong to. We accepted the invitation, and after checking in and mingling, naked, I soon realized that most men there that weekend were not circumcised. Many women looked at my husband's bare, wrinkle-free penis with great interest, and several asked me what it felt like to have such a beauty in my mouth, I told them that his was the best cock I'd ever sucked. We went to the beach one day and a lone woman joined us. My husband fell asleep in the sun and soon got an erection. The woman stared at his hard, shiny cock for a long time. She couldn't take her eyes off it. I told her about his recent circumcision and how it had really boosted our sex life. We were in a very secluded spot. The woman said that she was dying to touch his cock or to have it inside her, I thought about it and figured, why not? It would be fun to see another woman enjoy his beautifully circumcised penis. Her pussy was already wet, so she woke him up and asked him if he wanted to fuck her. When he said yes, she straddled him and positioned her pussy lips over his cock head. Then she lowered onto him, leaned forward on her palms and started fucking herself on his hard dick. She rode him with gusto. She came in a few minutes, then got off him and stroked his cock until he came. He shot his load on her tits as she squealed with excitement. The woman talked to me the next day and told me that she'd fingered herself to climax all night long, thinking about my husband's tight cock. She said that she had never had a cock that felt so good. I have talked with many other women about how great a totally circumcised cock is. Two of my friends, with my encouragement, have convinced their husbands to have their foreskin removed. The guys love their newly cut cocks, and their wives are happier than ever. I would never again want anything but a totally circumcised, tightly stretched, nude penis inside me. I urge any woman who has never tried a totally circumcised penis to get with the program. The delights in store for you are many.
And do you like it up the butt?
Thank you for your time and consideration.
...but is there a picture of this woman on the net?
I find that women with the ability and inclination to be involved in software, development and open source are inherently very sexy.
You were mistaken. Which is odd, since memory shouldn't be a problem for you
