"The CodePlex Foundation has announced the arrival of several new board members, including Jim Jagielski, the Chief Open Source Officer of SpringSource. Jagielski, who was one of the original cofounders of the Apache Software Foundation, brings a lot of credibility and leadership experience to the CodePlex Foundation."

I've heard some of the people who were behind this talk, and it is totally coming from a good place. You could even say that it is a milestone for MS corporate culture. But the last thing anyone needs is another one of these foundations. They just should have just joined OSI and thrown a bunch of money at them.

But the OSI and CodePlex have different agendas. OSI supports open source software regardless of platform. CodePlex is there to make open source software work better on Windows, so that Microsoft can usurp the value adding applications from Linux. Now that may not necessarily be a bad thing, but Microsoft continues to claim that Linux is infringing their patents and charge companies for license fees on their Linux infrastructure.
