As you may recall, Microsoft announced back on September 10 that it had launched a new, open open source organization called the CodePlex Foundation. It also pledged to announce a new board within 100 days - which passed without comment 11 days ago.
Since it launched CodePlex w(ith bylaws and other governance documents with which I had some issues), it has announced Project Acceptance and Operation Guidelines, its first "Gallery" (a project area), supporting Microsoft's ASP.NET, and two projects in that gallery.
But December 19 - the 100 day mark - passed quietly, with no announcement of a new Board or a status update on the other goals. So what's up with the CodePlex Foundation, and its pledge to promptly transition into a more independent organization?
I think you get "or". As in, Or Maybe they Just Don't Care. Probably decided they had bigger fish to fry. European Commission on their backs, Windows 7 to plug, Christmas parties to plan and execute, etc etc.
Conspiracy theorists consider the lack of evidence to be evidence of the conspiracy.
Considering that there is evidence, it must not be a conspiracy.
