Open Source at Adobe
[Pete Freitag's Homepage] The Adobe chap had interesting things to say about their heavily constrained use of open source: they basically have a sandbox where open source is allowed but at some point between the sandbox and the Adobe core products, open source becomes verboten. Not even open source compilers, even when they don't link to open source libraries.
Some slightly related from Technorati and Google.
[Blogs.msdn.com] Adam Nathan's Win32 to WinFX Blog :: When I joined Microsoft and the CLR team (then known as the COM+ 2.0 or "COM+ Confidential" team) in 1999, I was one of 3 test developers (SDET in Microsoft-speak) for COM Interoperability. During this time is when I got married and wrote my Interop book (in the year leading up to shipping v1.0 of the .NET Framework in 2002). And let me tell you - there's no better way to test a product than to write a book about it! For v1.1, I became the manager (or "lead") for the Interop test team. This is also when I created the CLR SPY tool. Then throughout v2.0, my team grew to not only cover Interop, but also Reflection, Reflection Emit & Lightweight CodeGen, Delegates, Generics, Hosting, Code Download, Remoting Infrastructure, and Managed Debugging Assistants. During this time, I got to do some more fun things related to code coverage, plus I created the pinvoke.net repository. I've had an absolutely amazing time being on the team and getting to connect with customers, whether at conferences, at user groups, at Redmond, or over e-mail!
[Radar.oreilly.com] O'Reilly Radar > Word on the Street at WWDC: There are over 500 engineers on site, I believe. Today Ihad lunch with Stuart Cheshire, creator ofRendezvous Bonjour and got to hear about thework of an engineer on his team who is optimizing TCP/IP for particular situations. A gentleman from Adobe, a formercoworker of Stuart's, was also there.
