To follow up from Oscar’s post this morning I want to give you a quick rundown of the new team. There is me (Jeremy), of course. I have been at Microsoft for 8 years and have been working with Dustin for the last 2 years. Among other releases, I worked on the Touch Pack and the Origami Experience Pack in both Test and Program Manager roles. I learned a lot working for Dustin (thanks Dustin!), those 2 years just zipped by. Now I get to build on that knowledge working with Oscar who brings a ton of industry experience to our team and will definitely keep us customer-focused.

Some of the Origami Experience V1 developers are also still with us and working diligently on the next version. Christian, the designer responsible for the interaction and look of our shiny new application is close by; in fact I see him nearly every day and he warns me not to ‘break’ his stuff. And of course Otto is just down the hall in case we need some wisdom to guide us through the mists.

We have an expanded Test team, more developers, program managers and all sorts of new support from different areas of Microsoft. The members of the team will introduce themselves over the next few weeks. As for Sears, I doubt he will be able to stay away completely, he just can’t help himself.
