The Open Platform Ecosystem
summary
GitHub states it stays an open platform after the pending Microsoft acquisition, pledges to work with Microsoft, Google and Amazon, and frames itself as the developer home and lifecycle platform. The product team refuses ads or gimmicks, uses community canaries to validate features, and defaults to open source where it accelerates adoption. Startups should open code that isn’t core IP, avoid contributing unless it’s good for the business, and expect more partnership announcements around the October 16–17 conference.
