Former Microsoft Exec Ray Ozzie Named To HP Board

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the welcome-aboard dept.

theodp writes "GeekWire reports that HP has named former Microsoft chief software architect Ray Ozzie to its Board of Directors. Ozzie, known for his early work on collaboration technologies including Lotus Notes, has been working on his own startup since leaving Microsoft in 2010. Ozzie recently sounded off on the NSA spygate affair, suggesting it's time to revisit the deal we made with the 9/11-privacy-devil."

    It's all about educating people, which is part of the "hard" I mentioned. Talking to people, and asking them to talk to people. I'm not saying I disagree with you mind you, I'm stating that you did have a choice. We all did, and still do.

    It's not going to be easy to get change, but if more and more people start talking to people instead of being defeatist it can happen.
