The .NET Foundation is an independent, non-profit organization established to support the open development and collaboration around the .NET ecosystem. It was founded by Microsoft in 2014 to foster innovation and community engagement in the development of the .NET platform.

History[edit]

The .NET Foundation was announced at the Build 2014 conference. Its creation marked a significant step in Microsoft's shift towards open-source software development. The foundation's mission is to promote the broad adoption of .NET by supporting an open-source ecosystem and providing a forum for community and commercial developers to collaborate.

Projects[edit]

The .NET Foundation oversees a variety of projects within the .NET ecosystem. Some of the notable projects include:

  • .NET Core: A cross-platform, high-performance framework for building modern, cloud-based, and internet-connected applications.
  • ASP.NET Core: A framework for building web applications and services with .NET and C#.
  • Xamarin: A set of tools and libraries for building cross-platform mobile applications using .NET and C#.
  • Entity Framework Core: An object-database mapper for .NET developers to work with relational data using domain-specific objects.

Governance[edit]

The .NET Foundation operates under a board of directors, which includes representatives from both the community and corporate sponsors. The board is responsible for setting the strategic direction of the foundation and ensuring that it adheres to its mission of supporting the .NET ecosystem.

Membership[edit]

Membership in the .NET Foundation is open to individuals and organizations that are interested in contributing to the .NET ecosystem. Members have the opportunity to participate in the governance of the foundation, contribute to projects, and collaborate with other members of the community.
