Today I was notified by the Chancellor that I will be appointed as the Sage Weil Presidential Chair for Open Source Software. This is an incredible honor and I thank those who nominated and selected me. And I thank Sage Weil.
The Sage Weil Presidential Chair for Open Source Software was endowed with a $500,000 donation by Sage Weil who founded the Ceph project as part of his Ph.D. project at UC Santa Cruz, plus a $500,000 match by the President of the University of California.
