Jim has agreed to answer your questions in real-time about his new position and the Outercurve Foundation itself on Wednesday, August 28th from 12-2pm ET (16:00-18:00 GMT).

      Have you actually looked at what Outercurve and CodePlex is? It has nothing to do with shared source just so you know.

      Eh, shared source? This is basically the Microsoft equivalent to the Apache Software Foundation.

      It has nothing to do with shared source...

      Except the common roots, and finances.

    Dig deep enough, and it's obvious all the projects are for Office and Visual Studio plugins, Windows applications, OData libraries, or ASP.NET frameworks.
