QUOTE(Zoloft @ Thu 28th January 2010, 3:44pm) 
That BLP is very different today. It links to her blog and other sources. She's had a long tech career, appears to be an Open Source evangelist, coder, and advocate for women in IT.
Seems like an excellent choice, really.
I would hire her if i wanted to energize a team.
Sounds great to me - give her a chance, folks  And hey - she's a Mac gal  |

QUOTE(Alison @ Sat 30th January 2010, 1:18am) Releasing a dozen pieces of a hundred-piece puzzle doesn't count. (GNU has been trying to implement Cocoa for years, since when it was still "OpenStep," but Apple doesn't seem very interested in helping...) This actually gets at the heart of the whole "Free" versus "Open Source" battle. The Free Software folks want the entire system to be free for ideological reasons, while Open Source folks just think it's a better methodology to use to build software in certain cases, and are willing to mix and match open-source components with closed-source components in their products as is convenient or profitable. Cooper seems to be strongly affiliated with the latter camp, being involved with the Open Source Initiative. Wiki[pm]edia has always been about "free content" and "free culture"; the Open Source approach would be akin to Bomis starting Wikipedia so they could package it up as one free part of an otherwise all-rights-reserved "Bomis Encyclopedia of Boobs." "Open source" buzzwords and posturing aside, the Diva's experience and technical chops seem perfectly acceptable for the job. This post has been edited by Krimpet: Sat 30th January 2010, 7:00am |

Yes, I believe she can accomplish what has already been achieved with much, much less. Somebody should be asking about the positions of Program Director: BLPs; Editorial Standards; Public Safety and Accountability; etc. These are probably positions commanding salaries of $40,000 - $60,000 and require minimum additional infrastructure. Many positions on less than a Director level are also needed paying less and possibly even telecommuting. $10,000,000 could buy 150 positions on these levels and still pay the Divas, old and new. |
