PFT
Tuesday, August 25. 2009
Today the it was announced by an official communication here in Germany. Thus i think i can now write about it here. At the beginning of this month i was announced as a PFT. Yes, this strange acronym i didn't explained at that moment. Now i'm a member of this group and i can explain it to you: The PFT stands for Principal Field Technologist.
The manager at Sun can't promote you to this, you have to go through a peer review by the members of this group to be a member of this group of technologists. This worldwide group consists out of technical leading employees from the ranks of Systems Engineering, Professional Services and Support Services. Thus i'm a little bit proud of it.
But i don't write this mail to tell you about this. That's not the purpose of this article, at least not the most important one. I want to thank those people who answered to this article with a mail. I've included all responses in my application to the PFT circle and i'm sure there were a decisive factor in this step. And i want to thank Mikael Lofstrand, who was my PFT guide and helped me through the application process.

Jörg, it's well deserved, and it's been a pleasure to vote for you during this process. You've been an easy to select candidate for all the things you've done so far... Enjoy your current vacation!

Herzlichen Glückwunsch! Das einzige überraschende für mich war, dass du erst jetzt in diese "Hall of Engineer Fame" aufgenommen wurdest. Wurde Zeit!
Naja ... für alles gibt es eine richtige Zeit, ich vermute, es war in diesem Jahr halt für mich die rechte Zeit für diesen Schritt

Okay, okay ... as several people have asked for it ... but you know my opinion.
