Scott - there are projects around a bunch of places, but the most are concentrated at www.codeplex.com. There are >2500 projects there today. I don't know the split as to how many are run by MS employees vs. outside project leads. I do know that that there are also projects of ours up on SourceForge and RubyForge - but I don't think those are big numbers (cool projects, just not many of them).

Hope that helps.

Jason,

Re: "2000 OSS projects to date" -- is there a list of all 2000 projects that Microsoft keeps up to date and available on the Web?

Thanks,

Scott

I understand the need for the name change, but just read the cached version here: http://tinyurl.com/35wvdt, then imagine you come back a month later to read the current version. New names, new meaning for Ms-RL even... Confusion.

Stefan -

I will pass on the coment to the team. This was an issue that was raised during the OSI review by the community and the MS team responded with the name changes. The blog posting I linked to from Jon Rosenberg mentioned it briefly as well.

Thx

Jason,

good work! There's one thing I have to complain about: the licensing site (http://www.microsoft.com/resources/sharedsource/licensingbasics/sharedsourcelicenses.mspx) says nothing about the name changes, the names were just silently changed there.

Not a single word about that it was changed, when that happened, what the old names were... (wasn't the reference license abbreviated as Ms-RL before)

That makes a quite cumbersome impression...
