I nearly forgot to tell you CMP's big news in time for SNW.

I nearly forgot to let you know about all the changes we're working on here at CMP Media! This was some of the most exciting (to me) news of SNW...First, I want to welcome Byte and Switch to the CMP Media family. They cover storage in ways we don't, so I think there's a perfect fit here.So that you know, Terry Sweeney and the content of StoragePipeline.com will be moving into Byte and Switch. Wish Terry luck!

To be clear, Storage Pipeline the print product will continue to be produced, it is just the web site that is moving.Second, we have added Steven "Steve" Hill and Howard Marks to our masthead as Contributing Editors, finally recognizing their astounding contributions to storage at Network Computing and Storage Pipeline. I'm pleased with this turn of events, because they have both done a lot to help keep us the premiere publications that we are. I am working with our publisher John Siefert to get them access to create entries in this blog, should they want to.The only constant in life is change, so I guarantee that more will be coming, but for now that is it from me.
