Angus Logan (aka Oz Sharepoint Demi-God) has been targeted for upgrades, and thus has been uploaded to Redmond.

Geeky words aside, Angus has been I guess promoted, to becoming the new Technical Product Manager for Windows Live Platform Team. This is good news for Microsoft, as Angus is quite passionate about the platform itself and has the skill sets to match, so it should be a great fit for one and all.

I hope he can every now and then slip me some inside goss on where Live Platform is heading before most of the mainstream internals as after all, I did wing a Silverlight + Sharepoint demo for him (whilst the Internet gave out half-way heheh).

All the best Angus and good luck in Sunny Seattle - hah!

Want a job working on Silverlight at Microsoft?

Yesterday Forest Key has announced there are around 30 jobs up for grabs scented around Silverlight ranging from Marketing to Evangelism. This is a very rare opportunity so if you're keen, grab it by both hands. I'm into my 5th month at Microsoft (oh how time flies) and I am loving my role as it's got some pretty cool perks and I get paid to work with developers across the globe on my passion, Web 2.0 and RIA.

Come to the Silverlight, see it for what it truly is and embrace the new found pieces of Microsoft's vision of "Age of User Experience" (sounds like a cult drive doesn't it heheh).

Forest says:

So I’m sitting here at work late at night working on some of Mix content and announcements for next week (April 30^th), and my thoughts keep coming back to “we need more people working on this stuff”. Well, the irony is that we actually have a over 30 open positions for marketing, product management, evangelism, business development, etc. roles related to our tools and platform… we’re just having a really hard time finding the right people.
