more and more we're seeing not just pure open source companies,put companiesthat have either not embraced opensource in past or sort of done it here and there, really fully embracing open source, particularly the developer communities,"GitHub CEO Chris Wanstrath told attendees.

Microsoft over the past two years has transformed the way it uses open source with the launch of .Net, he said, showing data indicating that Microsoft was the No. 1 company with contributors on GitHub, at 16,419.

Linux Foundation Executive Director Jim Zemlin told Guthrie on the conference stage that when he told a few people in advance that he would be announcing the move, they responded, "What's the catch?"

The foundation and Microsoft have had disagreements in the past, Zemlin acknowledged, but with the growing importance of mobile and cloud, there is "too much software to be written for one organization or individual to write it by themselves," he said.
John Gossman, architect of the Microsoft Azure team, will join The Linux Foundation's board of directors.
Microsoft previewed several new products that show their capabilities across multiple platforms, including SQL Server on Linux, Visual Studio for Mac, Azure App Service on Linux with support for containers, Visual Studio Mobile Center, Visual Studio 2017, and Azure Data Lake Services, which allows developers and data scientists to store petabyte-size files.
"From what we see, Microsoft continues to recognize the importance of Linux and other open source technologies in the marketplace," observed Mike Ferris, vice president of business development and architecture at Red Hat.

"Microsoft has been progressing towards putting more and more of its platform software in open source," said Al Hilwa, program director for software development research at IDC.
"I think putting software in open source is the first step, but to get the true benefits of the process, you have to engage community and recruit contribution," he told LinuxInsider.
The move also reflects the work done by The Linux Foundation to include other prominent open source projects and communities, ranging from Cloud Foundry to Cloud Native Computing Foundation, node.js and Open Container Initiative, 451 Research Principal Analyst Jay Lyman told LinuxInsider.

The bad blood between Microsoft and Linux ran deep for many years, as the company viewed open source as a threat to its Windows operating system dominance.
