While chatting with Nick Hodge about tomorrows panel session at Remix09 he mentioned that he was hosting a series of open source information evenings with Jorke Odolphi later this month. I’m sure many in the open source community are skeptical about any Microsoft involvement in open source but they do seem to be making an effort to get along and even help those who want to bring open source to Windows. Importantly the evening is about two way communication and not just a crafted message.
