Port 25: The Open Source Community at Microsoft : Podcast, Linux

ElegantCode Cast Interview

Peter Galli — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 13:09:00 GMT

David Starr, a Most Valuable Professional for Visual Studio Team System and who runs ElegantCode Cast, a podcast series off his Website, recently conducted an interview with Sam Ramji and me.

It is a comprehensive interview about all things open source at Microsoft. As David says: "Sam explains that the open source community within Microsoft is thriving and goes far beyond CodePlex or EntLib source code. Who knew developers in Redmond wrote Java code? Or that Windows runs PHP like a champ? Or that Microsoft has contributed code to Linux?"

Justin Steinman and Sam Ramji on the Novell/Microsoft Partnership

Sam Ramji — Fri, 03 Aug 2007 16:51:00 GMT

Back in the Spring, Sam Ramji attended an Olliance event entitled, the Open Source Think Tank. It's a smaller gathering, and well attended by nearly 100 or so executives and influential developer-users of open source software. During one of the sessions, Sam and Justin Steinman took an impromptu moment to answer some tough questions regarding the nature of the Microsoft-Novell partnership. Justin Steinman is Novell's Director of Marketing for Linux and Open Platforms.

Many of the questions had been asked before and in fact have been posited more than once on Port 25. We thought these discussions would be interesting to the community at large - ...so Sam & Justin hopped on the phone recently to answer them in podcast format. Take a listen....I try to emcee - but these are tough guys to keep on one topic :) As always, we welcome feedback and we'll invite Sam & Justin to answer the comments.
