What’s This About Giving Away Code?

I had an idea for something, built a proof-of-concept that impressed and excited some people, and we decided that the best way to get it to lots of people quickly was for Microsoft to release it as an Open Source project.

In practice, it means it’s in a Microsoft owned repository but I’m an admin and main contributor.
