We recently talked to Adam and Jared at The Changelog about open sourcing .NET Core. Check out the show.

#134: Open Sourcing .NET Core with the Microsoft .NET team

Here’s the introduction from The Changelog:

This week, we have members from .NET core team at Microsoft on the show to discuss Microsoft’s motivation for open sourcing the base class libraries of .NET, open source vs source open, the true goal of open sourcing .NET Core, and more.

“As far as open source goes, one of the key things that we need to focus on is being able to not just release source, but also take contributions back.” – Immo Landwerth @ 22:02
