QA with Matt Asay: How Linux is Beating Apple and Much More

"After four years at an open source application company, you’re coming back to Linux. Why now? And, why Canonical?

"Asay: I loved working for Alfresco, a company with excellent technical and business leadership. I joined Alfresco because I wanted executive mentoring, first, and to help build an explosive, profitable company. Both were fulfilled in my four years there.

"I wanted a new challenge - one where I could apply the lessons learned at Alfresco and have success reflected industry wide. However, I didn't want to leave my friends at Alfresco unless it was to work with other good friends. Canonical offered me both."
