MEF preview 5 released
My team released the 5th source code preview of MEF (Managed Extensibility Framework). You can get the latest bits at MEF preview 5. A summary of the changes can be found on in the release notes but I will copy them here for convenience. If you have questions or concerns feel free to join the discussion.

Should MEF support non-shared components?
Do you feel that it would be a mistake for the MEF team to only support shared/singleton components in V1? Keep in mind that there are patterns, as Hamilton pointed out, to still support non-shared/factory if you needed that support in V1.

Opening files from the VS "Quick find combo"
Ctrl+/ is quickly becoming one of my favorite and most used hotkey in Visual Studio. Pressing it will jump you to the "Quick find Combo" with a ">" already type in for you (which means interpret the text as a VS command).

Job openings on the .NET Framework Core Team
We have been incubating ideas about building a simple extensibility framework for some time. Now, as plans for the next version of the .NET Framework crystallize a bit more, we decided to productize the project. As a result, we have opened a job position (and most probably will be opening more) on the .NET Framework team. If you are interested, please see details here and send me an email at “kcwalina at microsoft.com.”
So, what is this extensibility framework? Initially, it will be a low level core .NET Framework feature to make it easy for applications to expose extensibility points and consume extensions. Think about what for example FxCop has to do define rule contracts and load rule implemented by the community. These are the basics, and we can talk about the broader and longer term vision when you come to Redmond for an interview :-)
This is a technical Program Manager position in Redmond, WA, and it’s basically exactly the job I did when I joined Microsoft. Besides working on the Framework features, all Program Managers on the core team have opportunities to work on API design and architecture projects.

2008 Scripting Games
It’s the third annual Scripting Games, the biggest scripting competition of the year! As a matter of fact, it’s most likely the biggest scripting competition ever. (The fact that it may be the only scripting competition is beside the point.)

Issues with the XmlSerializer in medium trust environments
In my last post I briefly mentioned that CodeHTMLer had issues running in a medium trust environment. The simple web application front end I created kept failing before it ever got started. It keep hitting a SecurityException nested in an InvalidOperationException which looks something like:
