- LeoNatan25 5y agoHopefully, after this kerfuffle, she soon announces she has made the tough decision to seek new and exciting opportunities outside of Microsoft.
- DeathArrow 5y agoOracle would love to welcome her to the team. :)
- jeswin 5y agoOpen source leadership can only be handled well by people who have experienced and participated in Open Source. If Microsoft is serious about Open Source, they need to put in charge someone who's done this before. They have plenty of people who can lead this; Scott Hanselman, Miguel Icaza, Nat Friedman... Whoever approved this in the first place has shown a shocking level of incompetence in understanding how the developer ecosystems have tilted in the last decade.
- DeathArrow 5y agoActually Miguel Icaza would be very good as a head of .NET development. He's not only managed to build a large open source code base but he also managed to win money from it. He's also a good developer, so he knows how to please developers.
- bigtones 5y agoJulia White doesn't work at Microsoft anymore - she works at SAP. Or did you mean Julia Liuson ?
- ComputerGuru 5y agoJulia Liuson, not White.
- DeathArrow 5y ago>Her decisions might be great for Microsoft's profit margins On long term such decisions will hurt profit margins. I wouldn't hire managers that only think about short term, in an attempt to enlarge their bonuses.
