ASP.NET Core Now Open Source
In the past, many software developers considered Microsoft did not like open source, but actually it was not Microsoft but only a few personalities at Microsoft who did not like open source. In fact, Microsoft has been involved with open source more or less since 10 years ago. Long story short around 2007 one of Microsoft’s employees became the top 5 contributors for PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor). Then around 2008 the president of the Apache Foundation was a Microsoft employee and the vice president of the Apache Foundation was also a Microsoft employee. And maybe you don’t know that around 2009 the biggest contributor to kernel linux is Microsoft.
A major change occurred with the appointment of a new CEO, Satya Nadella. In an internal meeting at Microsoft, Satya Nadella said: “There is no reason Microsoft cannot become the most open source software company in the world” from where the “Microsoft love Open Source” campaign was born. In 2014 Microsoft made a subsidiary, namely Microsoft Open Technology, which focused on open source technology as well as its community. Microsoft believes that open source is essential and critical for Microsoft technology.
