Shaun Connolly is joining SpringSource as VP of product management.

On the heels of Rob Bearden’s move to SpringSource, it seems that another JBoss executive alum, Shaun Connolly, is following suit.

Anyone who’s observed the interactions with JBoss and SpringSource over the past two-plus years may, like me, begin to wonder if the “friction” between the two companies is going to end. Like me, avid readers of TSS (where the throwdowns typically culminate), likely hope not. The public debates are fun to read 😉

In all seriousness, Shaun is a great guy and I wish him the best at SpringSource. Rod and team, great choice!
