Sam Ramji晋升为微软全球开源软件项目主管

Sam Ramji 刚刚得到了晋升：Sam 现在将负责管理微软全球开源软件以及 Linux 团队（大约有 120 人，还在不断增加）。
Sam 曾经是微软开源软件实验室的主管。在这个新的职位上，他将继续监管实验室，但也要在公司（以及行业）内扮演更为重要的战略性角色。

Sam 的晋升对微软是有利的。同时也对开源软件有利，因为他在微软公司是个诚挚可信的开源软件拥护者。他靠基于商业和社区的开源软件工程赢得了这个新职位。许多很老的开源软件拥护者也都经常称赞他。

Sam Ramji just got a promotion: Sam will now be running Microsoft's worldwide open-source and Linux team (roughly 120 people and counting).

Sam had been the director of Microsoft's open-source software lab. In this new role, he'll continue to oversee the lab but also take on a more strategic role within the company (and, by extension, within the industry).

I've known Sam for a few years now, and both like and respect him. We've had enough disagreements for me to know that while he's an active open-source proponent, he's not easily swayed by anemic reasoning (for or against Microsoft). He's a guy who recently told me that he has run Office 2003 and World of Warcraft on CrossOver (WINE) on Ubuntu (verdict: performance "not too bad"). He has an open-source-friendly background.

Sam's promotion is good for Microsoft. It's also good for open source, as I see him as a credible, earnest advocate for open source within Microsoft. He has earned his stripes within commercial and community-based open-source projects. I've heard some of open source's oldest advocates praise his name.

Let the constructive dialogue begin (or, rather, continue).
