JBoss "Mafia" Member & OSI Founder Andy Oliver Makes It Big

Online tech publication the The Register published an article by Matt Asay, Unstoppable JBoss 'mafia' has big biz tech in its crosshair, featuring JBoss extraordinaires that have made it big in the enterprise world. Needless to say, enterprise "mafiosos" were exalted, companies credited and innovative projects given their glory in an article with the abstract stating, "Welcome to the hits factory."

So you get the gist...

After reading the first paragraph it was obvious the article, while not directly naming him, was talking about Open Software Integrators Founder and President, Andy Oliver.

Then, this little gem was found on Facebook, talking about Oliver and other individuals essential to JBoss during this period of time:

"I am proud of what my former colleagues are doing (unstoppable) and the fact that JBoss helped to shape not only enterprise technology, but also the nature of open source as a business strategy". Thanks for a nice write up Matt Asay"
-Marc Fleury, Founder and CEO JBoss

Congratulations Andy Oliver for making it to the big leagues in the world of open source and enterprise technology! We are so proud of you and can not wait to see what comes next!
