Eventful week
As per my last post, had a lot of things go on this week so not been keeping track of events, apologies if you have heard all this before :)
- Jasons baby boy, congrats to Jason and Liz on their new arrivial.
- Groove has been bought by Microsoft and Ray becomes CTO (via Jesse) - thats pretty amazing, all the best to Ray in his new role.
- Robin gives an update on the .NET edition of Xamlon and Jesse weighs in with a Flex/Laszo point. Jesse's point about .NET and Flex is a very valid one, I have made the same point to both the Flex and Laszo teams. At the end of the day, time will tell who listened.
- MSF for CMMI, great that solution frameworks for CMM and Agile are now available. Both additions IMHO are very important and its great that TS will support them out of the box. I highly recommend that if you are new to CMMI that you take some time to do some research on it, the shop I work in certainly hold it in high reguard and CMMI improvement is something we are working towards.
- TS for XNA development, makes sense that TS will support XBox development teams. Its a natural home for TS to support multiple teams where you have a very split group of managers, programmers, designers and testers. I can really see this being adopted by the XBox houses, I suspect also that templates may be created (such as the Agile/CMMI templates) that are targeted towards this enviroment.
