SharePoint Dev Ecosystem \/ SharePoint Patterns and Practices (PnP) September 2017 release is out with new contributions from the community to the community. This post contains all the details related on what was included with the release and what else has been happening in the SharePoint Dev ecosystem during the past month.<\/p>\n

What is SharePoint Patterns & Practices (PnP)?<\/h2>\n

\"SharePoint<\/p>\n

SharePoint PnP is a nick-name for SharePoint Dev Ecosystem activities coordinated by SharePoint engineering. SharePoint PnP is community driven open source initiative where Microsoft and external community members are sharing their learning’s around implementation practices for SharePoint and Office 365. Active development and contributions happen in GitHub by providing contributions on the samples, reusable components, and documentation.<\/p>\n

PnP is owned and coordinated by SharePoint engineering, but this is work done by the community for the community. The initiative is currently facilitated by Microsoft, but already at this point, we have multiple community members as part of the PnP Core team and we are looking to extend the Core team with more community members.<\/p>\n

Notice that since this is open source community initiative, there’s no SLAs for the support for the samples provided through GitHub. Obviously, all officially released components and libraries are under official support from Microsoft. You can use SharePoint Developer group<\/a> in the Microsoft Tech Community for providing input and to ask any questions around the existing materials.<\/p>\n
