GItHub got bought so we breakdown what it all means for devs and open source. Matt Ray offers expert tips on relocating your family aboard as Coté prepares to move to Amsterdam. Finally, we announced the first live in person Software Defined Talk meetup in July somewhere in Austin. Don’t miss it.
GitHub got bought
- Price: $7.5bn in stock. Getting Microsoft stock now is probably good, should have good growth over next 3 to five years (the golden handcuff period, etc.).
- See the overview deck from Microsoft.
- Very qualitative, not much (or any) business case numbers stuff.
- Will “operate independently,” Microsoft’s Nat Friedman to be CEO of GitHub, reporting up to Scott Guthrie.
- Does this imply Microsoft will be moving OSS stuff to the GitHub business?
- How does this fit with TFS, whatever “Sourcesafe” is now? Coté has no idea about the current state of that business, esp. w/r/t to git. Slides say there’s be the usual seamless integration in VisualStudio, also some marketplace thing additions (presumably, pull in GitHub repos).
- Don’t forget the private cloud version of GitHub, plus using it for cloud native/DevOps config storage and release management stuff.
- Microsoft’s blog post, GitHub’s blog post.
