I don’t know how I missed it, but holy cow NetApp co-founder Dave Hitz is blogging! Great news for NetApp! Dave’s a smart guy that always did well getting his point across in USENET and mailing lists in the past. So I think he’s the perfect guy to start a blog at NetApp.
Now, let’s get the rest of the company blogging! I’d love to see the engineers and support guys start blogging; I know there’s a ton of great stories waiting to be told. 
Welcome to the blogosphere, Dave.
Mike Eisler, a technical director in the NetApp engineering group who works on all things related to NFS has a blog at www.nfsworld.blogspot.com/.
Mike’s recent presentation at Lisa ‘05 will be featured in the January issue of Tech OnTap, and I’m encouraging other people in engineering to develop blogs that I can promote. (shameless self promo: learn more at http://www.netapp.com/go/techontap )
Yeah, I know about Mike’s blog. It’s great! The more NetApp engineers you can get blogging the better, as I’m sure there’s all sorts of great knowledge within NetApp that would benefit the storage community.
I have recently left NetApp and decided to open http://filers.blogspot.com/.
It would be nice to get direct suggestions on content that would make sense to users.
Cool Eyal. Your first tip looks like a good one, too!
Mark,
You don’t happen to know about any NetApp blog aggregators out there, do you? VMware has something similar with their Planet V12n and Planet VMware, which aggregate VMware-related blog posts. I’d love to find/use something similar for NetApp…perhaps even help create one if one doesnt’ already exist.
