 Congratulations to the Open Group on its 25th anniversary. To me, those 25 years of success represent the power of effective collaboration in solving difficult problems. I remember the beginning of the Open Group clearly because I was fortunate enough to serve temporarily as its CEO during its early days. At that time, there were three things that particularly impressed me. First, the devoted, talented, hard-working membership. Second, the dedicated staff. And third, the collaboration process, which was at the same time very robust and yet was flexible enough to tackle new opportunities as they arose. These three factors that made the Open Group successful for the last 25 years have only grown stronger through the years. So I have every confidence that the Open Group's next quarter century will shine even more brightly than the first. Congratulations on this important milestone.
