Hi guys, Last week I contacted one of the developers of Team System (the replacement for VSS) to see if there was any interest from those guys in having Ant support their new SCM system for 1.8+
Rather amazingly they got back in touch, and (after a warning about how Ant is open source and they must be careful about IP issues :)), they want to set up a telephone meeting/conference call to discuss this. As I'm in Asia/Saigon and MS is Seattle/US I don't think I'd be a useful contact person for them to have simply due to the time difference. Basically I got in touch to see if we could get a special deal for a full version of Team System as the eval version expires after 30 days, and to have the time to write an antlib I'd prefer not to be limited to just 30 days of development/testing. So a plea to Ant devs closer to the US timezone - can anyone take this conference call with the Team System PM (Jim)? Thanks, Kev Attached emails:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Thank you for contacting me Kevin. Yes, I think we'd be very interested in working with you to enable Ant support for TFS. Of course, because Ant is an open source project we need to be particularly careful about any IP that might flow back into Microsoft from our interaction. We're happy to share with you anything you need to know about TFS but we really can't have any IP flowing the other way. So, in short, we'd love to help and there will be some constraints on "how" we can help. I've cc'd Buck (a dev lead on TFS) and Jim (one of our PMs). They should be able to work with you on a plan for how we can help you. <<<
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Kevin, I'm Jim Lamb, a Program Manager for Team Foundation Server. I'd be happy to work with you on this. Why don't we start with an introductory phone meeting to get the ball rolling? Can you let me know what day(s) this week would work for you?
