It’s no secret that Google is a big proponent of open source technology and the open web (to a degree), and it’s no secret that Chris Messina is too, either. It’s thus not terribly surprising that the man is joining the Mountain View Internet giant as its new Open Web Advocate.

Messina announced the news on his blog, and referred to his move as a very happy birthday present (he’s turning 29 today).
