CodePlex Foundation Picks Paula Hunter as Executive Director

59

As you may recall, the CodePlex Foundation indicated in January that it expected to name a permanent Executive Director within a few weeks’ time.  That has now happened, and in the “small world” department, the new ED happens to be Paula Hunter – someone I’ve known for years, and worked with several times in the past.  The full press release is below.  Paula is someone I like and respect a lot, and a great choice for CodePlex.

As you’ll see from the announcement, one of Paula’s prior jobs was as the Executive Director of UnitedLinux.  UL was a client of mine, and that’s where I first met Paula.  And if you’ve never heard the saga of UL, it’s a rather fascinating story.
