Keynote: Open Source & Cloud Application Platform: Our Learnings from a Developer-First Journey
summary
Microsoft reports 15,000 employees contributing to open source and details concrete moves: open‑sourced the C# compiler (Apr 2014) and .NET (Nov 2014), rewrote a Windows‑only engineering system to run on Mac/Linux, and adopted OSS tooling so the community can build and test. Visual Studio Code is top‑ten on GitHub and handles thousands of issues monthly with 40% of team time; .NET gets 60% of pull requests from external contributors and a community Mac implementation arrives two days after open source release. A 24–48h PR response SLA and weekly ASP.NET standups (≈5,000 views) are enforced.
