so we meet again...
A customer asked me: What are Microsoft's views on open source? To answer this question, I pointed them to our one stop shop for understanding our work and views on open source. This is a great starting point to understand what activities Microsoft is sponsoring to help the software ecosystem - both "open" and "closed".
If you were wondering how this relates to what else we have out there, from the FAQ:
Q. Does this site replace Port25 or CodePlex?
No. This site is intended to provide information about Microsoft and open source in one place, serving as a gateway for information about open source engagements and activities across Microsoft. CodePlex is the Microsoft open source project hosting Web site and will continue to be a resource for developers and consumers of open source projects. Port 25 is the public portal for the Open Source Software Lab at Microsoft, and will continue to be a resource for technical insights, blogs, and how-to information for the use of Microsoft and open source technologies together.
What is your/your company's view on open source?
