A Linux Enthusiast's Perspective on Microsoft OSS & Azure
Download as PPTX, PDF2 likes507 views
This document discusses Microsoft's evolving approach to open source software and cloud computing over the past 20 years. It notes that while Microsoft was once opposed to open source, it has increasingly embraced and contributed to open source projects like .NET and Linux. It also discusses how Microsoft's cloud platform Azure has adopted many open source technologies and allows development with open source languages and tools. The document argues that today, Microsoft supports a fully open development model across Windows, Linux and MacOS with technologies like .NET Core, Docker and GitHub.

Editor's Notes
- #14: This change in strategy is reactive, but positive, and it's roots can been seen as far back as 1997 with Eric Raymond's talk and subsequent book,the Cathedral and the Bazaar where Erik outlined the difference between Big Design up Front and the approach taken in maintaining the Linux Kernel. This approach focussed on shorter release cycles, with many iterations of smaller releases. But more fundamentally, the idea that "all bugs are shallow with enough eyes" to quote Linux Travalds - which Erick later called Linus’s Law. This seems to be in direct violation of the traditional approach where adding more developers to a late project only makes it later (The Mythical Man month). But, what was really different was the mind set of people who were involved in Open Source Projects. These people were contributing to these projects not for money, but with a sense of passion and pride. It would seem that if you take the issue of money off the table - if we did not have to worry about money, and our primary focus is in being part of something you can feel proud of, then everything changes. Over the past 20 years of observing Open Source projects, this does seem to ring true. I am aware of commercial software houses that have adopted open source projects and tried to grab-and-run and turn these free projects in to commercial ventures, but with the wrong focus - i.e. hiring developers that are more interested in the money than being passionate, seems to really kill the project. It's self regulating for a reason. If you build software in the open, and release to the public, you are displaying your work - warts and all. So, there is a self-policed effort to remove the warts and to beautify the work. Think of it more as a work of art than a mechanical process. Contrast this to someone who has a bunch of Jira tickets to complete and once pushed, and passes the tests, then it's done - until it comes back around again from QA with a series of bugs. Pride is a difficult thing to nurture in a commercial enterprise. It takes a particular type of leadership. In my experience it's rare.
