VMware did a totally awesome thing last week: we named our first VMware Fellows, Ole Agesen and Mike Nelson.  Aside from Ole and Mike getting a spiffy new title, their alma maters each received $800,000 endowments.

Having just been promoted to Staff, I’ve been talking with my manager lately about what my next career goal is.  Senior Staff is on my radar as my next move, but now I see I’ve got a new long-term goal to aim for.
