I was recently interviewed by the good folks at InfoQ, and the resulting interview has been posted to their site.

The interview spanned a variety of topics including our Open Distribution program, Spring support, and our over-all strategy; I encourage you visit InfoQ to take a look at it.

One exchange I did want to highlight here was about how we think of ourselves relative to grid and cloud computing:

When I was a kid, I loved Speed Racer, the cartoon series just recently brought to the big screen by the Wachowski brothers.

For many, the phrase "grid" continues to carry the baggage of first generation grid computing, which was marked by complexity, rigidity and worst of all a lack of relevance for the vast majority of problems faced by mainstream businesses.
