summary

An independent nonprofit since 2014, the .NET Foundation reports over a million .NET Core developers and 87% external contributions and supports about 75 projects. It provides a CLA and automated CLA checks in PR pipelines, builds with Azure DevOps CI, issues code signing via a registered trade name and code-signing service with DigiCert, and hosts projects (NuGet, symbol hosting). Membership grows from ~430 to 500+, an election draws 45 candidates for six board seats, and corporate sponsorship tiers start at $50,000.
