Thank you for all your hard work on Mono and bringing .NET to the OSS ecosystem.
Hopefully, the regulatory approval stuff works out without issue.
Microsoft needs better representation in OSS and I can't think of anybody better equipped to assist them in that direction.
Luckily, we will be joining a new Microsoft (pending regulatory approval), one lead by Satya which has a different vision for the company. We are excited about what this means for Xamarin's products, for our customers, for our users, for our employees, but most of all, we are excited about what we can achieve inside Microsoft for all of Microsoft's customers, and the rapidly growing open source community around .NET.
Cheers! Miguel
