Microsoft's CodePlex foundation moving forward
InternetNews | at | by Mike
After nearly two months of life, Microsoft's open source CodePlex Foundation is now gearing up to accept projects, but it still has some work to do.
"We believe we'll move into a more mature state in the spring," Sam Ramji, interim president of the CodePlex Foundation, told InternetNews.com.
Microsoft formally unveiled the CodePlex Foundation in September as an effort to help commercial entities bring open source products to market.
The CodePlex Foundation is a separate but related effort to Microsoft's CodePlex project site, which was launched in 2006 as a site for hosting open source efforts. The foundation is now organizing itself to tackle its mandate of helping commercial open source technology development and adoption.
