Executive moves: Barry Klawans joins Hyperic
Well, that didn't take long. Barry Klawans, former CTO at JasperSoft, resigned from Jasper a month or so ago citing the need to unwind and spend time with his family.
Apparently, six weeks of that was all his family could stand, as he has joined Hyperic (on a part-time basis) to help with its JasperSoft integration. His kids are crying...
...with relief!
Welcome back, Barry. If your kids are like mine, you'll never leave us for long. :-)
Matt Asay brings a decade of in-the-trenches open-source business and legal experience to The Open Road, with an emphasis on emerging open-source business strategies and opportunities. Matt is vice president of business development at Alfresco, a company that develops open-source software for content management. He is a member of the CNET Blog Network and is not an employee of CNET. Disclosure. You can follow Matt on Twitter @mjasay. 
Thanks for the kind words. Becky (my wife) certainly had a good laugh...
Just to clear up a few things, I actually left JasperSoft in February, so its been nearly three months. I've joined Hyperic part time to help them improve their end user reporting capabilities as a consultant, not a permanent employee. (Stephe Walli took me aside at the recent OSBC and explained that "consultant" sounds so much better than "deadbeat" when taking time off.) I'm still not planning to jump into anything fulltime until the end of the summer. If you know of anybody with an interesting opening at that time let me know :-)
I am excited about working with the Hyperic team - its a great bunch of folks who have built an impressive product.
Hey, my eldest is a heavy metal drummer - that should limit my ability to stay home for long!
