Built to Last - Building and Growing Open Source Communities
summary
Microsoft’s experience with Kubernetes and VSCode yields concrete practices: design governance so competing vendors have multi-company participation and a level playing field, invest in code stability so teams can fork privately, run full build/test cycles, and reintegrate without breaking CI, and build a reproducible CI/CD pipeline (VSCode’s internal system) that they now pilot as shared tooling for other projects to reduce reintegration friction and preserve long-term contributor diversity.
