This is my first blog post on Port 25, and timely as my team and I are attending OSCON with the folks from Bill Hilf’s team. I have some thoughts regarding the future of open source and how an organization matures along with the movement it helped to create. As Director of Source Programs at Microsoft I can attest to the value of keeping up with your own growth. We started on a journey, over three... more

Today, Microsoft took another step in its relationship with the open source software community. We did this by bringing up a new web property that clearly outlines Microsoft’s position on OSS by providing specific information about Microsoft, the OSS community and the interaction between the two. The new site also details information about getting started with OSS and Microsoft technologies. We'll... more

When we started port25 and the OSSL it was met with great skepticism. But there have been a lot of changes going on around us here at Microsoft. And one of those I wanted to bring to your attention...... more

Hank Jenssen and myself attended the OSCON on the 27th and 28th of July. We did not attend the tutorials or the Executive briefing but were there two days of the two and a half days the sessions were in progress. We also attended the keynotes on both days (27th and 28th July). As a strategy, Hank and I discussed the sessions and their subject matter, splitting up to attend different sessions in... more

A couple weeks ago I was put in the ‘hot seat’ at the O’Reilly Radar Executive Briefing at OSCON in Portland. Danese Cooper from Intel had a lineup of questions to ask and we had fun (really) discussing many of the issues about Microsoft and Open Source. In his blog, Tim mentioned one of my quotes from this session about dealing with ‘close mindedness’ around the issues of Microsoft and OSS, as it... more

I recently attended OSCON 2006, and had a lot of fun being there. Microsoft’s presence in the Open Source World is still a novelty (to say the least), so I always got a reaction out of people at the conference when they saw my badge! ... more

We'll have more videos and blogs to come on OSCON2006; in fact, later today we'll be posting an interview with Mindtouch, as well as trip reports from Hank & Anandeep next week. For now - we wanted to share a few pics we snapped from the show floor for those that couldn't make it all the way to Oregon. As you can see from our first picture, the weather stayed beautiful for Day 3 at OSCON :) ... more

We just wrapped up the O'Reilly Executive Day here at OSCON after two days of what many would call record heat in the Pacific Northwest. With many of the Port 25 folks commuting from larger cities across the US, Portland is a welcome break. For those who haven't been before - the pic this morning from the Willamette River might give you an idea of how beautiful this place really is. ... more
