Microsoft-funded foundation gets a chief

摘要

The Codeplex Foundation, an organization funded rnand created by Microsoft, has named its first executive director, but still has not begun to form its permanent board as promised. Industry veteran Paula Hunter will assume the role of executive director, the Foundation said. Hunter has held leadership roles at open source organizations such as Open Source Development Labs and United Linux. The CodePlex foundation, launched last September, is aimed at bringing open source and proprietary software companies together to participate side-by-side in open source projects.
