Open Source Leader Matt Asay Leaves COO Position At Canonical
Back in February, bloggers everywhere, and in particular bloggers who focus on open source topics, took notice when noted CNet blogger Matt Asay joined Canonical as Chief Operating Officer. Matt's Open Road blog was for years one of the best places to get a daily dose of open source thinking, and a lot of his ideas on open source seemed to have much applicability to the challenges that Canonical faces going forward. Now, though, as ZDNet reports, Matt is leaving his role at Canonical--as the man behind Ubuntu--behind to take a new gig at a startup called Strobe.
According to Steven J. Vaughan Nichols, Matt said in an email:
"Basically, I needed to get back to a customer-facing role but hadn’t realized that until my good friend, Bryce Roberts, pinged me about a company he had invested in (Strobe). I hadn’t been looking around but agreed to meet with Charles [Jolley], the founder.”
