Josh Ledgard On MS's Future Open Source Efforts

Posted by timothy on from the inspect-gift-horse-carefully dept.

prostoalex writes "Josh Ledgard from Microsoft, the developer responsible for open-sourcing WiX and WTL, is looking for opinions on what Microsoft should do next in regards to the open source movement that he himself established within the company. "Would you have interest in working on these types of projects with Microsoft? If not, what could entice you? If so, what would be your motivation?", asks Josh." Update: 08/24 19:04 GMT by T : As Ledgard writes on his site, "I am NOT the person responsible for the WIX/WTL projects. I cite them as examples and am working with people who where responsible for those projects to enable more of the same for the groups I work in." Sorry for the misattribution!

    By they way, are you coming to the meeting this evening where we will further discuss the coming revolution and subsequent dictatorship of the proletariat? Comrade Stalin, uh I mean Stallman has asked that all good comm.. I mean Free Software Advocates attend this very important meeting!!

    See you there Comrade!
