mac Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 News report from The Seattle Times on 4/12/12: "Posted by Janet I. Tu Microsoft is creating a new wholly owned subsidiary, Microsoft Open Technologies, focused on working with the open-source community. While other business groups within Microsoft will continue to work with open-source and open-standards communities, the subsidiary "will make it easier and faster to iterate and release open source software, participate in existing open source efforts, and accept contributions from the community," according to a company news release." http://seattletimes...._on_open-s.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LilBambi Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 "Today, thousands of open standards are supported by Microsoft and many open source environments, including Linux, Hadoop, MongoDB, Drupal, Joomla and others, run on our platform," Paoli wrote. Nice to see they are admitting it instead of calling Linux a cancer (Ballmer). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corrine Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Microsoft has been involved in open source for some time. Unfortunately, search results are flooded with the new subsidiary but one example is CodePlex - Open Source Project Hosting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
