The fact that the account was just started 1 week ago suggests to me that Github had been preventing squatting on the account until it was official.

- gulbrandr 15y agoYou are right, I tried with Microsoft: http://i.imgur.com/PJiOy.png http://i.imgur.com/PJiOy.png https://github.com/microsoft/ https://github.com/microsoft/
- zbowling 15y agoMicrosoft is on github. Github should let these teams setup an organization under Microsoft as a pointer. https://github.com/microsoft-dpe https://github.com/microsoft-dpe https://github.com/Microsoft-Interop https://github.com/Microsoft-Interop https://github.com/WindowsAzure https://github.com/WindowsAzure
- gulbrandr 15y agoIndeed but it does not change DevX101's point. Also it is strange they did not request the microsoft account
- doty 15y agoThat would require these various teams at Microsoft to act as if they were a single organization. This has historically been difficult for teams at Microsoft.
- gkop 15y agoRight? Apparently they can't even agree on whether or not they want caps or dashes in their organization names.
- skrebbel 15y agoWhich matters!
- zbowling 15y agoWhat is funny is that some of the same engineers are on all these github accounts.
- jf 15y agoI'm working on this. And, yes, it's difficult.
