Well, that should be interesting.

I contracted at Motorola for a half-year - systems administration.

They were very segmented, regimented and separation of duty'd. It felt like you couldn't sneeze without having the boss's boss's boss sign off on it. And then over to security for his chop.

I've never been to Google or to Spain but from what I've read .. the culture mix is going to be interesting.

Yeah, I agree. I contract at Motorola in China, and it is extremely regimented. The Chinese are very good at it, though. Coming from a startup culture, I can tell you it is hard to believe the two cultures are going to sit well with each other. There are going to have to be some changes.

I think its convenient how the software structure is already on Gerrit (http://code.google.com/p/gerrit/), and we all use Google Apps for email, etc.
