Microsoft Unveils 'CodePlex' Website
Filed in archive on July 5, 2006
Microsoft is hoping to fire up a community of developers on a code-sharing forum the company has been testing since May but rolled out officially on Tuesday.
The project, called CodePlex, is a forum for Microsoft code and code from other developers, said Jon Rosenberg, director of community source programs at Microsoft.
"We're actually establishing a venue for the development community to collaborate with us and feed back into these projects," Rosenberg said.
CodePlex is not unlike many online communities where developers modify and develop source code. In recent years, Microsoft has extended olive branches to open-source developers after being criticized for its fierce protection of its own source code.
Code contributed to the site can be posted under any Licensing terms, Rosenberg said. Microsoft is offering some of its source code under its own Share Source Initiative (SSI) licensing plan, which offers access to source code under varying conditions.
