“Microsoft has lost its key pseudo-source person, Sam
Ramji, and discussion about this carries on because a replacement
will be needed. Some people honestly say that board member of
Microsoft’s CodePlex Foundation Miguel de Icaza is a likely
candidate. Having already been criticised by the FSF before (de
Icaza mocked them too), he should not be surprised to find this
report from Software Freedom Day at Boston. The author quotes
Richard Stallman as follows:“Miguel de Icaza “is basically a traitor to the Free
Software community” This was in response to my question about
the new Microsoft “Open Source” labs. He went on to say
that Miguel’s involvement in the project doesn’t give
much confidence as he is a Microsoft apologist. The project looks
to be concerned with permitting “Open Source” programs
to work on the Windows platform and thus divert valuable developer
time away from free platforms such as Gnu/Linux.”
