Oh yeah, Maulan and I were boys back in the day. He's definitely a cool guy.
Haven't talked to him much lately, I'm afraid. He's at a new place, now, I
think but don't quote me on that.

Heh. Yeah, that's not likely. Well, maybe you could talk Wind River into it.
They employ a bunch of the core developers. In fact, if you opened it up to
Darwin as well, you might even get some sponsorship from Apple ;-)

He's a really good guy. He will definitely give you all the advice you can
handle. You should try him face-to-face, though; he's a little slow replying
by email (he gets more email than the rest of the CS department combined per
day, b/c of his textbook being the most popular Java text in the world).

Hahaha. Yeah, we can do that sometime. I haven't actually made it to a PLUG
meeting yet (a little out of my way), but I plan on more seriously attempting
to make a few in the upcoming months.
