Nat Friedman, new CEO of GitHub: I will win your trust

After his takeover GitHub for 7,5 billions of dollars, Microsoft has announced that it will replace its current CEO and co-founder, Chris Wanstrath, with one of its own Vice Presidents, Nat Friedman.

So Friedman takes over at GitHub, a which is not unknown to him. Friedman said: "I've been a programmer since I was six."

The new CEO has reportedly been active in open source development since the 90s, and that's where he discovered Linux. His first contact with GitHub was in 2009, when the service was just one year.Nat Friedman

Friedman stressed that GitHub will continue to function as an independent entity and that the plan is to maintain its philosophy and its links with the open source community.

According to suspension of the blog:

  • Το GitHub θα λειτουργήσει ανεξάρτητα σαν κοινότητα, πλατφόρμα και επιχείρηση. Αυτό σημαίνει ότι το GitHub θα διατηρήσει τις πρώτες του αξίες, το ξεχωριστό πνεύμα και την ανοικτή επεκτασιμότητα. Θα υποστηρίζουμε πάντα τους προγραμματιστές στην επιλογή οποιασδήποτε γλώσσας, άδειας, y, platform or Cloud.
  • GitHub will retain its philosophy. We love GitHub because of the deep care and thoughtful thought that goes into every aspect of the creator's experience. I understand and respect this, and I know we will continue to develop stylish, flexible, polished tools that developers love.

Nat Friedman closes the publication by quoting that he does not ask for the trust of the community, but that he intends to win it.

We will wait to see…
