Comments on: CoApp http://ramblings.timgolden.me.uk/2010/05/13/coapp/ The ramblings of Tim Golden Fri, 18 May 2012 03:21:20 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2 By: Garrett Serack http://ramblings.timgolden.me.uk/2010/05/13/coapp/#comment-1070 Garrett Serack Wed, 26 May 2010 17:04:00 +0000 http://ramblings.timgolden.me.uk/2010/05/13/coapp/#comment-1070 @Gordon -> Me too! On one hand, I've been working with a lot of non-Microsoft folks for many months leading up to the launch of the project, but even so, I'm quite happy about the response I've been getting to the project. My optimism is growing steadily too. Given the list of folks that have gotten involved (notably, Trent Nelson amongst others) and their contributions so far, I've got a lot of confidence we're on the right track. Well, and frankly, if this doesn't deliver, it's gonna hurt my career a lot :S G @Gordon -> Me too!

(Not that I've looked too hard). Even the main Python list -- which is generally a fairly moderate place -- has a number of die-hard anti-MS types but no-one seems to be saying anything. Personally, I see this as a great move which can do nothing but help open source be more widely accepted in the Windows world. Optimistic? Maybe, but I prefer that to naysaying cynicism. @Gordon: frankly, I’m surprised, too. (Not that I’ve looked too hard).

Even with the number of blogs/posts Garrett Serack has put out theres been little anti-Microsoft writing. Maybe this stands a chance of actually working?
