When I was last at apple (6/27) Alain was still head of evangelism.
This is primarily third-party developer relations -- books, software,
hardware, etc.   He had about 6 people working for him but apparently
he was really good.

The fact that it mentions Guy Kawasaki seems no coincidence, since
I believe Guy had that job 1.5 years ago and was promoted to the
next highest job.  I understand Guy called up the sponsors
and asked if they would be interested in sharing the cost of the ad.

Rossmann was first rate (I met him at the MWE 2/85) but the impact
of his departure just depends on how that department functions
with him gone.
