Mitchell Ashley talks with interesting people about interesting topics in the world of Microsoft.

Joining us this week on the podcast is repeat guest Sam Ramji, interim president of the CodePlex Foundation. Microsoft recently stunned the industry when it announced the formation of CodePlex, an independent open source non-profit organization.CodePlex Foundation intends to address the barriers that have traditionally inhibited corporate developers from participating in or contributing to open source projects. We'll learn on the podcast how Sam and other volunteer contributors working to shape the CodePlex Foundation plan to address these and other questions. Sam also announces his next position, after recently leaving Microsoft. The CodePlex Foundation position is an interim one, and Sam is joining Sonoa as VP Strategy, a startup with ambitions to become the Google Analytics of online APIs.
