Job openings on the .NET Framework Core Team
We have been incubating ideas about building a simple extensibility framework for some time. Now, as plans for the next version of the .NET Framework crystallize a bit more, we decided to productize the project. As a result, we have opened a job position (and most probably will be opening more) on the .NET Framework team. If you are interested, please see details here and send me an email at “kcwalina at microsoft.com.”
So, what is this extensibility framework? Initially, it will be a low level core .NET Framework feature to make it easy for applications to expose extensibility points and consume extensions. Think about what for example FxCop has to do define rule contracts and load rule implemented by the community. These are the basics, and we can talk about the broader and longer term vision when you come to Redmond for an interview :-)
This is a technical Program Manager position in Redmond, WA, and it’s basically exactly the job I did when I joined Microsoft. Besides working on the Framework features, all Program Managers on the core team have opportunities to work on API design and architecture projects.

2008 Scripting Games
It’s the third annual Scripting Games, the biggest scripting competition of the year! As a matter of fact, it’s most likely the biggest scripting competition ever. (The fact that it may be the only scripting competition is beside the point.)

I've been subscribed to Scott Hanselman's blog for a long time. I love all the tools, tips, etc he posts. Up until this point I have not really gotten into podcasts however due to Scott's awesome blog I figured I would give his podcast, Hanselminutes, a try.

Call for post topics
As some of you may (or may not) know I'm a developer working at Microsoft on the Outlook team. My primary focus is Outlook Programmability (i.e. Outlook COM Object Model). Now that Office 2007 is complete I would like to post some code samples of how to use some of the new Outlook Object Model API's. Two new API's I plan on discussing are the PropertyAccessor and the Table. However, if there are any general questions about Outlook programming that you would like me to discuss or post code samples for please let me know. I've already had a request for sample Powershell scripts that automate Outlook, so I will try to provide a couple examples of that.
