      For any @github folks wondering how a Microsoft acquisition might play out, a few thoughts from someone who went through this a little over a year ago.

      When Microsoft acquired Multimap, the firm had a large development operation in Istanbul. They were sidelined and a few months later the office was shut down. Microsoft behaved appallingly to the staff. I didn't work there myself, but knew some of the victims.

      Can't speak to that, but it was over a decade ago. Not exactly the "new Microsoft" era.

      Does the leopard change its spots? A couple of years after trying to get me sacked they were on short lived Linux charm offensive. It didn't last.

      Don't blame you for being skeptical. But given the significant moves we've been making in the right direction, I'd ask folks keep an open mind -- judge us by our future actions, not our past failures.

      Can't judge by future actions - actions are by definition in the past. The future is just words. I'm not sure what Ms has done to make me change my mind.

      Public open sourcing a whole development stack wasn't enough?

      SQL Server on Linux? VS Code on Mac and Linux? Member of Linux Foundation... a few little things which all happened in the last 4 years at @Microsoft.

          How open are the governance processes on those projects, can non @Microsoft employees have commit rights?

          I'll defer to @bobwardms on the SQL-on-linux question. @shanselman might help in general. We have outsiders checking in documentation code for sure.
