I found this kinda odd news from Linux.com entitled ‘Microsoft hiring “open source evangelist”?‘ Of course, it got my attention so I decided to read the entire article - a thing that I seldom do. Basically, the story is about someone whose name was not revealed who got a call from Microsoft asking this ’someone’ to fill in the position of an open source evangelist.

Though the actual name of the person was not mentioned, I do believe that a website as respected as Linux.com wouldn’t post such a story if it wasn’t true.

My thoughts on this? Well, I think Microsoft is trying to win the hearts of opensource people. One other thought as also mentioned in the Linux.com article is that they might just try to make opensource people to do things the Microsoft way. Is Microsoft trying to infiltrate the opensource world? If so, what’s their ultimate goal? Reminds me of the movie Antitrust.

Whatever Microsoft is trying to do, I don’t think they’ll be able to accomplish it easily. IMHO, opensource people know better - we can’t easily be fooled!
