Several answers, take your pick: 1) My manager is aware of what I am doing, and is supportive; but no, it is not my day job. A better way to look at it is that he gives me a rather long leash. While he does believe that it is in both IBMs and the industry's best interest that Jakarta succeeds, it is not in my performance plan, except perhaps indirectly as potential "extra credit". 2) I am certainly not representing IBM. In true open source fashion, my contributions should be evaluated on their own merits. Like my colleages at Sun, I've considered getting an e-mail alias, but so far have decided to contintue to prominently display my association with IBM, as I believe that it has unfairly been perceived as being owned and operated by Sun, and it is my hope that in a small way I can help to correct this perception. 3) With only one exception so far, all the code that I have committed has been done from home, typically not on what people would consider normal working hours. - Sam Ruby
