FYI, Nat Friedman, co-founder of GNOME, is now the Microsoft employee who is the CEO of GitHub.

Well, not quite. Nat cofounded a company (Helix Code, later Ximian) with Miguel de Icaza (cofounder) which then developed GNOME apps and infra.[0]

Nat was a cofounder in the same way that Jeb Bush was a US president. Connected to one perhaps but not one himself.

I believe you are mistaking Miguel de Icaza with Nat Friedman (probably because of Ximian).

Isn't Miguel de Icaza also with Microsoft now ?
