Sulasailor,,,,, Awesome post!
POET fits the Foundry 2.0 model to a tee.
So what? From viewing the Hutcheson/Manocha interview Ajit Monacha clearly showed he knows the value and importance of this development concept and by creating IDM at GF under the Foundry 2.0 concept, where both design and build engineers work closely together, success and smooth progress can be achieved.
AM’s research engineering background and vast experience will seek to ensure that product and process engineering principles are of the highest order in POET and it strikes me that the technical audit that he is currently undertaking is a vital part of this product's success. This all takes time but is time well spent. Knowing GT's persistence for thoroughness, these two guys will be talking turkey and enhancing the amazing product that POET will become and it successful implemantation.
This is getting exciting!
