Greetings Gang,
I could do it on the basis of a recent Ph.D. Graduate.  If were in that case
representing TTU as a student/alumni, then I could see that as reasonable.
Also, it might work well from point of view of crediting Pascal, Chuck, The
Daves, Ramsey, Kieran, Paul, and any number of others.

I do think that there were some fair points made in the Objective Cloud
presentation.  Like it or not Java is one of the top 5 programming languages
in the world.  At the time it was selected to bear WebObjects, it was the
number one programming language in the world.  Unfortunately, that
popularity was due to our competition.  The big deal for WebObjects has
never been about popularity as much as it has been profitability.    It may
not be the API on Java that is winning the hearts and minds of Linux web
servers or Android devices, but it serves both Apple and non-Apple worlds
alike.  This service has been both profitable and mature with clear evidence
with no need for fanfare.  But maybe, we should notice that for our own
success.

As the podcast noted, Objective Cloud serves a useful niche that most of the
cloud world misses.  I look forward to seeing what they are capable of doing
with their product.  Also, I would be happy to contribute to help the cause
if I can.

V/R,
