    Aaaahhhhh. Palm it is. I am so happy for you Chuq, what a great gig!
    I wish i had a similar opportunity *right now*.

    Congratulations. It'll be interesting to see how you put your beliefs about feedback and community to work, and how it will compare with the iPhone developer community

    I think its safe to say we think there are opportunities here in "not being like Apple", but in reality, nothing matters if the product is good, and making the product as good as we can is what really matters. But my primary role is to communicate, both out to developers and to listen and bring information back into the company, so that should give some idea of what we hope to have happen.

    Does this position have to do with that post that Andrew Shebanow made asking for feedback? (http://shebanation.com/2009/01/14/post-removed/). I remember he had updated the post to say that the response was overwhelming and Palm didn't know quite how to handle it.

    I guess they found a solution, in you.

    Not directly. They were already looking for someone for this position when that happened, and I'd already applied for it but hadn't started interviewing. It was a point of discussion in the interviews, obviously... (grin)

    Congrats! So... when do we get a peek at Mojo?
  • chuqui · 10 months ago
    as soon as it's ready? I"ll know more once I actually start the job. until then, I'm guessing, too.

    Very exciting! They are lucky to have you!! Are you keeping your iPhone?
  • chuqui · 10 months ago
    for now. I intend to not renew it at the end of the contract, assuming we do our jobs right. I'll also probably carry both a work and personal phone. There's still a time and place for separating the two and not completely merging the two lifes, I think.

    A team of mine has been working on the Palm Pre for the past year and a half. It is an exciting project and this is a great time to be joining the developer relations group there. They have some really good people in that new group and I am sure they are looking forward to getting you on board. I look forward to working with you in the future.
