I had the opportunity to present at both OSCON in Portland and at LinuxWorld in San Francisco in the last three weeks – both O’Reilly and IDG were gracious enough to grant me a session on the work that Microsoft is doing with Novell, XenSource, and others on Linux and Windows interoperability.
Overall our focus is on three critical technology areas for the next-generation datacenter: virtualization... more

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

We're nineteen days away from OSCON, and very excited about participating at this year's event. Microsoft is a Diamond sponsor of OSCON, and we have a number of interesting open source and Linux interoperability sessions and keynotes planned through the show. For those who can attend, we'll hope you join us for some or all of the below...... more

About a month ago, I did a presentation on What I Learned from OSCON, based primarily on James Howison's talk on OSS Communities. Since James had such great and interesting feedback on my presentation, we decided to do a follow-up podcast...... 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

Be careful what you write on your blog about having such a great time at OSCON, because the Port 25 team will find it! I mentioned that I had wanted to do a second video regarding everything I had learned at OSCON. I was (almost) embarrassed how my first video interview fell into the category of “common misconceptions about running OSS projects.” Knowing me, I had to correct this at once...... more

Last week, O'Reilly Media posted portions of two conversations that took place at the O'Reilly Radar Executive Briefing. One between Tim O'Reilly and Brian Behlendorf about lessons from Apache and CollabNet, and the onter between Bill Hilf and Danese Cooper about Open Source at Microsoft. O'Reilly was kind enough to allow us to re-post these discussions on Port 25 - we're hoping you enjoy the lively... 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
