As announced on Microsoft’s ‘PORT 25′ weblog, Tom Hanrahan, formerly the Director of Engineering for the Linux Foundation, has joined the company. His title is most likely new to Microsoft org charts. “Tom will join as the Director of Linux Interoperability, and will head our Linux/Windows interoperability work, including leadership of the Microsoft/Novell Interoperability Lab. This development lab will undertake much of the engineering work involved in the multi-year technical partnership. Among other things, Tom has much to teach us on ‘developing in the open’ — how to work in a transparent way with a broad engineering community.”
