>It's been announced at GLGDW 2002, a few minutes ago, during the keynote by Ken Levy, that Ricardo Wenger is now the community manager for the Visual FoxPro team. There is also a new visual data team for Visual Studio (VDT). The VDT and the Visual FoxPro team are now under the same manager, Yair Alan Griver. That team includes VFP, Visual Studio .NET, SQL Server and XML. More details will follow from the upcoming offical coverage of GLGDW 2002 by the Universal Thread later on tonight.

yag already clarified, and I did go over the details with the UT reporters after the keynote to be sure the details in the UT report were exact for this topic. The current UT report at http://www.levelextreme.com/Conferences/Hentzenwerke/2002/ has the correct information (which I copied below...)

Perhaps the most exciting news not related to VFP8 was Ken's announcement of changes in the Visual FoxPro and Visual Studio management structure. Ricardo Wenger is now the full time Developer Division Community Manager. Ricardo will be responsible for community efforts for all the Developer Division tools like VB .Net, C#, ASP.Net, VFP, etc.. There is a new Visual Data Tools Team [VDT} for Visual Studio. This team and VFP are now under the same manager - Y. Alan Griver [YAG]. For those of you who do not know YAG, he has very strong ties to the VFP developer community that go back many years. In just a little over 1 year, the Visual FoxPro team has added key figures in Ken Levy and Alan Griver. This leaves no doubt as to the strong role and partnership VFP has in Microsoft's suite of major development tools.

In a post keynote interview with Ken, he mentioned that Alan Griver is a great manager to work for based on his experience working directly for Alan at Flash Creative Management years ago.
