It's Official: I've Joined Optaros
I left Microsoft after five years in early December. I became a consultant (again) which is a fine moniker that can hide many things. But as was pointed out today, you really carry the title of ex-FormerEmployer until such time as you join a new endeavour. Today, it's official. I am Chief Open Source Officer at Optaros, Inc. Think of it as a community focused Chief Technology Officer.
I'll be interested to see what happens to my writing voice on the blog. I've noticed over history that the most original voice I've used came at times when I was unempl^H^H^H^H^H^H working as a consultant. (This should not be confused with the strength of the writing skill. I have become a better writer over the years. Really) But markets are conversations, and one of the reasons I came to Optaros was to have the conversation. Time will tell.
Fascinating! I was wondering if you were still at MSFT.
Are you in Boston?
