So, let’s talk a little more about my new position and what it means for Visual FoxPro and the community. As you know, I spent the last few years as Group Manager for VS Data – that meant that I had two major products that I worried about: Visual Studio (the data pieces, of course) and Visual FoxPro. I spent a portion of each week on each.

With this new position, I will continue to spend a similar portion of my time on VFP – reading the Universal Thread, working with Milind, Calvin and the rest on Sedna, talking to customers, going to conferences, etc.

Here’s the cool thing though. The community has been working on SednaX – a set of community driven extensions to VFP. One of the things I get to focus on now are the technologies underlying CodeGallery that Craig, Doug and Rick use to set up and manage SednaX. So, I’ll now be spending even more time thinking about the things that people do with our products and how they’re extended. Pretty cool.
