Not sure what to think about this. I moved from FreeBSD to OSX right about the time Hubbard moved to Apple. I had a lot of optimism at the time that OSX would grow into a great open source-backed OS. Darwin never seemed to get much traction on its own. I wonder if that was as much a disappointment for Hubbard as it was for me.
Yeah, similar story for me - Jordan was pretty active on the FreeBSD UKUG mailing lists at the time, I remember him announcing his move to Apple and that prompted me to finally pull the trigger on a shiny new Powerbook.
Apple's oftentimes half-assed open-source dalliances aside, it's always felt good to have someone legit like Jordan at Apple. Definitely their loss - but hopefully he'll do good things at iXsystems.
