Ken,

Bill Tuthill? He worked in techpubs. Try saying "Eric Brunner managed (or
mismanaged if that is easier to say) the systems group, which include the
i18n sub-group, at Sun, after John Entemann." Maybe that will help.

Metaphore was so far from Austin ... it was further away than PASC (Palo
Alto Scientific Center). Sorry for your loss. Maybe you met Phil Sherin.

Larry wouldn't go to a UTC meeting. He had the 9.x 10.x 11.x series of soft
ware and hardware hurdles to make. Mike got cc'd on i18n related stuff, like
fixes for HP-15, new locales. He didn't make policy. It wasn't important. It
was optional, and the multi-byte work was largely driven by the standards
conformance instrument I caused to exist -- the horrid XPG4.2 base and
extended test suite, which we waived routinely. I personally lead the work
on HP-UX 10.10. I was there.

You've confused the periperal activities of (large, diverse) companies with
(then) some disposable income, with core business units. Look at the agenda
for COSE, it wasn't there. That's 1993 and very serious market planners.

If you want to show that lots-a-people contributed to your work, fine.

If you want to show that your work was even above the horizon for Unix
technical and strategic marketing managers, I don't know how you'll do
it. Be creative. I'm remembering things I didn't even know I'd forgotten.
