Congratulations, Cory!
If you hadn’t yet read in the news in BoingBoing or blogaritaville, my friend and former boss Cory Doctorow has left OpenCola to join the EFF as their Outreach Coordinator. Once again, he’ll be doing an evangelist’s job, convincing corporations that it’ll be in their best interests to give money to the EFF. It’s a job he loves with a cause that he believes in.
Congratulations, Cory, on getting a to-die-for job and for escaping from OpenCola, the urinal mint of the P2P field.
