What mailing list?
I have email from April 2007, and I don't see it.
I do see other emails from you, but mostly about random stuff. Nothing I can find that appears like you describe.
(I'm not claim it's not there, i'm just trying to find it :P)
Peter Kasting tracked down the original company-wide email. It was actually from May 2007 and titled "Guppy needs testers" - for those of you working for Google who would like to look it up. Since I left Google in January 2008 and had to turn over all of my records, I'm working from memory here.
The entire experience of having work that I did 6 years ago questioned, has been interesting.
However, the invention, the communications, the meetings, and the OS itself are all very well documented both inside and outside Google. Further, I'm fairly confident in the integrity of Google management.
I hope I have responded in an entirely professional manner, and I'd like to assure everyone that I hold no grudges and, particularly for those Googlers who weren't aware of my work, I'd welcome the opportunity to buy you a beer sometime and fill you in on everything that happened in 2007.
You cite emails which do not appear to match your claims. You cite technology which does not match your claims. Is there another person you worked on this with who you could ask to comment on your work -- former manager? product manager? any peer engineers? So far, you've called exclusively on upper management-types who traditionally cannot comment.
Also, what specifics do you feel like you invented pertaining to Chrome OS? Just planting the see of a web-centric Linux distro (on a USB stick...)? Or are you claiming all its boot, graphics, security, and OS-level innovations?
Hi guesty, I apologize I didn't remember the subject line of an email I sent 6 years ago.
If you are a member of Google, you can almost certainly track down a copy and run the actual operating system.
I had correspondence with hundreds of Google engineers at that time. Obviously if I had access to my email record, I could provide the contact details of all of those engineers, but that was all turned over to Google when I left the company.
Its not evasive. I'm stating if you are at Google, you can go look at the actual operating system itself. Also, copies of the slide deck we presented to management - on many occasions - is also almost certain still sitting on the Google file system. Its not like anything ever gets deleted at Google.
