Sam Ramji: Microsoft's man in open source
InternetNews | at | by Mike
Sam Ramji is a busy man. As Microsoft's senior director of platform strategy, his job is a big one: overseeing the company's initiatives in Linux and open source.
Wait a second ? Microsofts strategy in open source? Yes, thats right. The planets largest software company, whose relationship with open source has been, at best, hypercompetitive ? Linux partisans might describe it less diplomatically ? is reaching across the divide to the enemy camp.
Or, as Ramji wrote on his LinkedIn profile: Open Source Software projects and ISVs should contact me to initiate a relationship with Microsoft. I am focused on narrowing the gap between the Open Source community and Microsoft through research, collaboration, interoperability, and community engagement.
