Where Are They Now: Marc Fleury of JBOSS
Marc Fleury, the French-born entrepreneur who founded open source company JBoss in the US after the bubble burst in 2001 was featured in BusinessWeek back in 2005. He waved away a few open source myths in that story and about a year later came the announcement that the profitable venture was to be acquired by Red Hat for $350M.
Only a few months after the combination of the two companies, he stepped down from a management role there.
So where is he now? He's still in the US, and he's reportedly taking it easy, doing some gaming, studying some biotech, and being a DJ.
We will probably find out via his blog what he will do next. Called Maison Fleury, it offers irreverent commentary on open source projects. It also has some tips for entrepreneurial techies in a series prefaced with the following notes: Now enjoying my status as a sage of the industry, which is to say I am older than 20, but alas, not a billionaire... people are all the time asking me for nuggets of wisdom from my vast experience at the top.
