I too was frustrated that the newsletters weren't always there nor ontime. My guess is that posting the news letter was not a check box on his annual review, so it slipped.

I guess the question is, how do you determine when the last one would be? The last one he posted was April 7, specifically to announce some hot fixes. What if he said, "that's all folks", then more hot fixes were made that he had to announce? Looks kinda silly, IMO.

As for him being part-time, I think that was public info. I heard it at SWFox. At the time he joined the team, it was quite well known that the end was near.


>I don't care for a lesson on the history of VFP managers. "Program Manager" or "Product Manager" I don't care what title you slap on it. All I know is that Milind Lele was supposedly "the" guy now since he was the one doing the "Monthly VFP News" which we all know was never monthly nor on time.

>My point still remains...as far as I'm concerned, Milind never cared about the VFP product or community and in some ways I don't really blame him given the position he was in. How's this for an entry to the VFP News...tell everyone who reads it that he's not in a full time position as "whatever Manager" for VFP and that they shouldn't have expected any news on a monthly basis. Tell them that he's not going to actively update the "News" which was pretty self evident. The very least he could do was say "so long and this is the final log entry" then turn out the lights. Who knows, maybe there's still time.
