Very interesting interview of Shaun Walker, the creator of the popular DotNetNuke open source Web application framework for .NET. The story is very compelling to read. Shaun Walker, the creator of DotNetNuke shares his history with Microsoft and how the company supports and ignores his efforts. Some divisions, such as Microsoft's .NET Developer Division (DevDiv) with Scott Guthrie has supported DotNetNuke concept for years. However, what is very interesting is that Microsoft has its own Open Source Software Lab group (run by Sam Ramji) as a marketing division for OSS software development. This group, however, has pretty much ignored DotNetNuke even if it is purely Microsoft and runs only in Microsoft environments including SQL Server. But like with any large organization, there are parts of the organization that support you and part that completely ignores you. This is the learning that one needs to take from the Q&A from Redmond Developer News.
