&lt;p&gt;It was a pleasure speaking with you at the MVP Summit and in the Westin Lobby. &amp;nbsp;Keep up the great work and try to show a little excitement about what you do eh?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(for those that haven't met Sara, if she was any more enthusiastic, I think she'd start shifting dimensions)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Yes, you can connect to CodePlex via Team Explorer, provided you are a developer or coordinator on the project. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=1866499" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Influencing the Microsoft culture one open source presentation at a time</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/b/saraford/archive/2007/03/09/influencing-the-microsoft-culture-one-open-source-presentation-at-a-time.aspx#1865888</link><pubDate>Mon, 12 Mar 2007 18:54:48 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:1865888</guid><dc:creator>Dave Friedel</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;The open-source Java folks I know use CVS directly to projects on the net.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;CodePlex requires a download, change, upload. &amp;nbsp;It should allow access thru Team Explorer... unless I'm missing something.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If CodePlex does have TFS integration across the net, it's not obvious how to set it up. &amp;nbsp;This one factor could make all the difference in promoting open source. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Friction-free coding! &amp;nbsp;:)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=1865888" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Influencing the Microsoft culture one open source presentation at a time</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/b/saraford/archive/2007/03/09/influencing-the-microsoft-culture-one-open-source-presentation-at-a-time.aspx#1864527</link><pubDate>Mon, 12 Mar 2007 16:02:28 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:1864527</guid><dc:creator>Jim Holmes</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Good for you! &amp;nbsp;Your entire team's been terrific on this front -- and y'all build great tools, too.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=1864527" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Influencing the Microsoft culture one open source presentation at a time</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/b/saraford/archive/2007/03/09/influencing-the-microsoft-culture-one-open-source-presentation-at-a-time.aspx#1848417</link><pubDate>Sat, 10 Mar 2007 02:50:43 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:1848417</guid><dc:creator>Alicia Cales</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hey Sara - &lt;/p&gt;
