Channel 9 Interview: Sara Ford on Community, Open Source, and Katrina
One of my former teammates and good friend, Sara Ford, did an amazing interview on Channel 9 where she talks about her experience at Microsoft as a tester on Visual Studio as well as her journey into the developer community and open source space. But what's really amazing is the part of the interview where she describes her and her family's experience as Katrina survivors and how a common call to action can bring out the best in a community. That's really what it's all about. Sara now works on the CodePlex team and I couldn't be happier that she's taken this new role.
Enjoy,
