Mozilla Developers Invited to Redmond

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the dinosaurs-in-wa dept.

savio13 writes "Sam Ramji, Microsoft's director of its Open Source Software Lab has invited 4 Mozilla developers to spend 4 days with Microsoft's Vista Readiness ISV team. The invite can be found on mozilla.dev.planning and was posted on Saturday (Aug. 19). Schroepfer replied by indicating that Microsoft and the Moz guys are already in contact via email and will follow up on the offer there. This is interesting because Sam posted the offer in a public forum (and indicated that he'd sent a PM, but was posting in case they had an @microsoft.com email filter). Sam also made a point of stating that the Vista ISV Readiness offer is typically only for commercial ISVs."

    In a couple of weeks, we'll see a /. article about how four Mozilla developers have mysteriously disappeared, followed shortly thereafter by one about how they've been found in the trunk of Ballmer's car.

    Maybe the Mozilla team could spring a counter trap:
