Welcome to the .NET Foundation!

Java의 경우 이를 위해 언어/프레임워크 출시 초기부터 Java Community Process라는 커뮤니티를 운영 중. 이번 닷넷 프레임워크와 C#의 공개를 위해 MS도 http://www.dotnetfoundation.org   을 새롭게 구성.

Welcome to the .NET Foundation! We foster open development, collaboration and community engagement on the .NET platform. The .NET Foundation includes popular open source .NET projects such as the .NET Compiler Platform (“Roslyn”), ASP.NET MVC, Xamarin's Mimekit and Mailkit, and many others.

The .NET Foundation will be the steward of a growing collection of open source technologies for.NET, Microsoft’s comprehensive development framework. Come back soon to watch community reactions from community members including Xamarin CTO Miguel de Icaza and others.

We will serve as a forum for commercial and community developers alike, while providing a set of practices and processes that strengthen the future of the .NET ecosystem.
