Business Wire is reporting that Samba Team member Jerry Carter has taken a position with Centeris.

"With Samba, the focus has been on features and network protocols, while the polishing work -- like providing the ability to manage those features in a way that's familiar to Windows administrators -- has been necessarily postponed," said Carter. "Until Centeris Likewise, companies who chose open source had to undertake this polishing work themselves. The appeal of Centeris is their technology paves the way for wider deployment of Samba and Linux than previously has been possible for many organizations."

Our best to Jerry in the new position! For the complete story, see Centeris Adds Windows and Linux Experts from Microsoft and HP.
