“Invisible Worlds has hired Kris Magnusson, who has extensive
experience developing open source policies, as Director of
Developer Relations. Invisible Worlds has developed the Blocks
architecture and the Blocks eXtensible eXchange Protocol (BXXP) for
managing meta-data and defining an exchange model for organizing
information into navigation spaces on the Internet.”
“In his new position, Magnusson will continue working with the
open source community in helping to refine the many new protocols
and software innovations that are being developed by Invisible
Worlds. Magnusson held a similar position for software giant Novell
in Provo, Utah, where he was given the tasks of developing open
source initiatives, formulating open source-related business
strategies, and managing strategic open source projects.”
“Brian Behlendorf, CEO of Collab.Net, a leading company in
creating new open source markets and a partner with Invisible
Worlds on several major projects, said, “This is an excellent
appointment. I would consider this to be a good thing for
Invisible Worlds and for the open source community. I’ve worked
with Kris Magnusson extensively and find him to be an outstanding
and effective liaison between the technology and business
communities.”
